| A female adventure story of friendship and freedom, beginning in 1778. Against all odds, two aristocratic Irish ladies and a maid flee abusive homes to start a new life together. Poor, without means or male guardians, they must learn to fend for themselves. Through many travails they arrive in Wales, eager to retire from society, but fate has other plans in store. These "Ladies of Llangollen" become famous for their literary salons; they influence major poets, writers, kings, and queens, and live together happily for 50 years. Their home is now a National Trust Property in Wales. |

| "It is impossible to leave Lady-Like without affection for the dramatis personae, amusement at the dialogue, and satisfaction at learning a welcome history lesson...this Off-Off Broadway evening is more on target than many a Broadway one." |
| --John Simon, New York magazine |
