Reviving Ophelia adapts one of the truly seminal nonfiction books of
our time into the gripping story of four girls. Jill, Allie, Lia and Dawn are
all battling the corrosive influence of popular culture and searching for the
personal North Star that will guide them home. The book by Mary Pipher is a
must-read for parents of adolescent daughters.
Playwright Bennett, specifically chosen by Dr. Pipher to adapt her work, deftly
leavens the drama with great humor, tracing the intertwining lives of these
four girls from first grade through middle school, and then through high school
to graduation and into adulthood.
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of
Woodstock, Illinois
