A Round Heeled Woman
Sharon Gless puts the sex back into sexagenarian.

Why see A Round Heeled Woman?
Jane Juska placed an ad in The New York Review of Books which said "Before I turn 67 – next March – I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me".
She received 63 replies, from men aged between 32 and 84. A Round-Heeled Woman tells the real-life adventures of some of the encounters which resulted. Jane's courageous journey takes her through falling in love, some heartbreak, rejection and humiliation, a lot of laughs, and her first orgasm with a man after 30 years.
The play deals with the universally engaging themes of love, loss, personal empowerment, and the wisdom which comes with the passing years. And yes... sex.
