Bay Area "Old Money"
"If the rich aren't happy—who will be?" It's a good question Wendy Wasserstein asks in Old Money, one of her later plays (first produced a dozen years after The Heidi Chronicles) and one that has a certain extra resonance when produced in the tiny, very wealthy enclave of Ross, California, where the current median home price approaches $5 million. It's about as "old money" as the Bay Area gets.
