Set in New York City, it focuses on the struggles of a young lawyer, Alice, as she navigates her challenging career while confronting societal expectations and personal aspirations. The play humorously explores themes of women’s roles in the workforce and the complexities of modern professional life during this transformative period.  The story revolves around Alice and her humorous interactions with various characters seeking employment in her office, including a society woman, a charity worker, and a pair of quirky stenographers. As Alice deals with her unqualified applicants and the pressures of her profession, a subplot unfolds involving her friend Diana, who attempts to pull Alice away from her legal struggles by staging a comedic intervention. With witty dialogue and charming characters, the play critiques gender roles while celebrating female ambition and camaraderie, ultimately leading Alice to recognize her own worth and place in the world.
