Amy Berryman’s adaptation of Henry David Thoreau's novel, Walden , opens in New York .

The play stars twin sisters, NASA -trained twin sisters and the partner to one of them.

They live in the American wilderness, one of the few places left where air remains breathable without a mask.

Winters is a pro at tough, slick surfaces with tangles of insecurity underneath.

Foster is a robust, open presence, not unfrustratable but very tender, readily channeling the kind of man for whom patience is a great part of love.

Winters gives Stella both a willowy-ness and a sparking current of anxiety that separate her from her sister.

A Woman Among Women, directed with a light, almost whimsical touch by Sarah Hughes at the new Starr , is playful, idiosyncratic, and ultimately wrenching.

At the center of it is Dee Pelletier’s wry matriarch, Cleo , self-assured and seemingly laid-back in cargo capris and sensible shoes.
