The stage adaptation highlights the character of Undine Spragg, a beautiful yet ruthless woman navigating the cutthroat New York social scene. Driven by a relentless pursuit of power and status, she manipulates the men in her life, discarding them at will. Hitchcock skillfully distills Wharton's expansive narrative into a concise theatrical experience, maintaining the original's satirical edge while offering a vivid portrayal of Undine against a backdrop of rigid class structures and societal prejudices.
