One of the first mainstream books to cover sexual taboos, Peyton Place became a best-selling novel, movie, beloved soap opera and now a world premiere adaptation from City Lit Theater. This saucy tale, which John Waters called, “the first dirty book the baby boom generation ever read,” deals with three women in a respectable New England town who come to terms with their sexual identity: the emotionally distant Constance; her sensitive daughter Allison; and Allison’s friend Selena, a girl from across the tracks. Filled with twists and turns, you’ll find out why Peyton Place still resonates to this day.
