William Marston is a truly improbable character in American history: psychologist, author and inventor of both the lie detector -- a precursor to our modern polygraph -- and Wonder Woman. It comes as only a slight surprise to learn that Marston was a bondage enthusiast. The early Wonder Woman comics involve a great deal of capture and tying-up, not to mention the veracity-forcing Lasso of Truth. More surprising is the revelation that he lived with two women in a large blended family: his wife, Elizabeth, and Olive Richards, his research assistant. The two amazingly strong forward-thinking and iconoclastic women together served as the inspiration for Wonder Woman. This unusual family romance is the perfect proving ground for the play's overarching questions of truth and verifiability, especially in matters of the human heart. We follow two intertwined stories: one set in the 1930s and '40s, with the trio responsible for Wonder Woman's creation, and one set in the 1990s, with a girl trying to track down both All-Star Comics #8 and some answers about her childhood heroine. This smart, seductive, wild ride of a play features an eclectic cast of characters, hand-drawn comic panels, visitations from a beatific Gloria Steinem and a chorus of tantalizing voices in the dark." $c -- Page 4 of cover. 600 00 $a Wonder Woman $c (Fictitious character) $v Drama. 600 10 $a Marston, William Moulton, $d 1893-1947 $v Drama. 600 17 $a Marston, William Moulton, $d 1893-1947 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00048773 600 07 $a Wonder Woman $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179180 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Drama. 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 655 7 $a Comedy plays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romantic plays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Comedy plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921567 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 655 7 $a Romantic plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922532 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014004.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0529D622E96E11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
