There is a rule in book conservation: You must never do something perfect. Perfection is forgery. Once a book is torn, the tear cannot be erased. Joan dreams of the man who will erase all her imperfections, even though she's sure that's against all the rules of love, too. She decides to fall for a seductive psychopath who she knows can make her perfect - but she doesn't know the price she will have to pay. "WHAT A MAN WEIGHS is a contemporary romantic comedy with some serious things to say about sexual politics. Sherry Kramer's play is about a womanizer and the women around him in a book conservation lab at a large university. Book restoration is compared with life ... We're reminded that people's lives are like the pages of a book - everything leaves its mark ... WHAT A MAN WEIGHS weighs in as worth seeing."-Leida Snow, 1010 WINS (radio) "Sherry Kramer's astringent Off-Broadway play starts out as blunt, confrontational feminism, but its view of sexual politics becomes more and more complex, funny, and biting." -Time
