Celebrated novelist Edith Wharton (House of Mirth, The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome) has just outsold every other writer at the turn of the century, when she falls for the handsome charms of Morton Fullerton, fellow-writer, bon-vivant and Don Juan. Wharton's dinner parties are the talk of society, and her maid, Posy, will fill you in on all the details. Based on recently-discovered diaries, Mr Fullerton, Between the Sheets reveals the surprising passion of Wharton's mid-life love affair and sexual discovery in early 20th Century Paris.

"...The most winning character in "Mr. Fullerton" is Henry James, Wharton's sometimes pompous, mildly jealous, self-absorbed colleague and friend. Joshua Wolf Coleman is delightful in his childish complaints about Wharton's beloved dogs, his demands for Posy's assistance with the most mundane activities, and his constant need for attention. The friendly but competitive banter between Wharton and James are some of the highlights of the play."

"...Once it gets its bearings, Mr. Fullerton, Between the Sheets, tosses and turns its way through the throes of hidden romance, miscommunication, reconciliation and, eventually, heartbreak."

New England Theater Mirror - Somewhat Recommended

"...Unfortunately, I felt as though this romance fizzled before my eyes, and not in the sweetly tragic arc that I believe we are supposed to follow on stage. It's possible that the play or the production assumes that its viewers will inherently realize the importance of the characters we are seeing, and as such we won't need a firmer scaffolding to realize the profundity of what is unfolding."
