Israel Horovitz’s OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES centers on the life and death of a 100-year-old man. Four of his many lovers/wives come together in his Parisian apartment awaiting his funeral. Within 24 hours they share love stories, fond memories, insults, disappointments, sexual secrets, and a strange bonding resulting from having been this man’s love interest at one point in their lives.

These four characters are designed to keep you laughing heartily throughout the entire production. Seasoned Evelyn (portrayed by Oscar/Tony Award winning Estelle Parsons) trades barbs and banters with the long-time girlfriend Evvie (Tony Award winning Judith Ivey). With comedic perfection, both give as good as they get. Angelina Fiordellisi is marvelous as the wife Janice with a penchant for suicide, and Francesca Choy-Kee is an enthusiastically optimistic current (and youngest) wife. Sophisticated comedy, sexual innuendos, and scathing sarcasm, coupled with preposterous situations and a genuine affection for each of these characters make OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES a hilarious and rewarding theatrical experience. A delightful gift to give yourself.
