Summary
Pygmalion goes awry in this contemporary comedy of manners, which explores sexual harassment, misplaced amour, and the possibility of a four-sided love triangle. The combatants are a sexy, volatile young woman and three Back Bay types: a writer, a lawyer and a fiancée in sensible shoes. The setting is Boston, the ending is happy, and laughter abounds.
History
Spike Heels premiered at the Second Stage Theater in New York in 1992.
