"The company is held together with grit and twine and loads of talent and is a perfect recession buster: the tickets are 18 bucks with five dollar student rush at the door and the play and the small company that mounted it stand to remind us that tough times come and it is through looking not hiding that we will move forward. " - Wickham Boyle, theaterscene.net

Meet The Desk Set: Bunny Watson, head librarian of the reference department at the Federal Broadcasting Company, and her team of librarians. Besides being equipped with an encyclopedic knowledge and whip-smart wit, these hilarious working girls know how to have a good time while getting the job done in 1950s Manhattan. But when an efficiency expert installs a new electric brain into the office and rumors of pink slips fill the air, Bunny and the girls fear they may have met their match.
