The Autumn Players of the Asheville Community Theatre will present “The Devil Touched My Tongue – The World and Wit of Dorothy Parker,” on Friday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Saluda Center, located at 64 Greenville Street in Saluda.
The show is written and performed by RoseLynn Katz. The performance is a bittersweet portrait of the celebrated 1920s writer, famous for her caustic wit.
Here are a few of Dorothy Parker’s well-known quotes:
“I don’t care what’s written about me so long as it isn’t true.”
“Brevity is the soul of lingerie.”
“Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.”
Comments on a performance by Katherine Hepburn: “She ran the gamut of emotion from A to B.”
