In the early 1950s, a psychologist sets out to write the definitive book on THE SEX HABITS OF AMERICAN WOMEN. Meanwhile, his wife is having an affair with his former student, his daughter can't find love, and all his theories refuse to go unchallenged. Juxtaposed to the action in the 1950s is a present-day videographer making a documentary on precisely the same subject. "Funny, gently satiric, at times almost poignant ... Myatt, an up-and-coming young playwright, excels at acute, unexpected punch lines. She lightly blends in multimedia elements and deftly plants seeds that pay off in later scenes." -Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle "An intriguing serio-comedy about the stultifying sexual morality and gender roles in place around the time Alfred Kinsey released his roof-rattling academic studies ... This play is a rare intelligent new one with direct appeal to older audiences, suggesting a possible shelf life amongst regional companies." -Dennis Harvey, Variety "Julie Marie Myatt ... teases and cajoles us with an intelligent, intriguing and funny play that manages to ask questions without knocking us over the head with them ... Myatt's humor freely runs the spectrum from adolescent to coy to poignant, and Myatt strikes a nice balance in treating the material with a mix of matter-of-factness and awe." -Dominic Papatola, Saint Paul Pioneer Press "An engaging new play built on a sturdy foundation of irony ... Julie Marie Myatt is a playwright whose work bears noticing. Based on THE SEX HABITS OF AMERICAN WOMEN, her plays could prove to be habit forming." -Chad Jones, Oakland Tribune
