Clubs Quote by Amanda Peet
![“I'm still trying to write. I wrote a play a few years ago, so I'm trying to start writing again. The play was called The Commons Of Pensacola. It was at MTC [Manhattan Theatre Club] with Sarah Jessica Parker and Blythe Danner. It was kind of like a riff on Ruth Madoff.” quote by Amanda Peet](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8b2/amanda-peet-12108_clubs_i-m-still-trying-to-write-i-wrote-a-play_2991270.jpg)
