![]() THE
WOMEN by Clare Boothe Luce directed by Fuzz Roark with Stephy Ruzsala Feb 24 - Mar 19, 2017 The plot centers on a 1939 group of gossipy high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows. The sweet, happily wedded Mary Haines finds her marriage in trouble when shop-girl Crystal Allen gets her hooks into Mary's man. Naturally, this situation becomes the hot talk among Mary's catty friends, especially the scandalmonger Sylvia Fowler, who has little room to talk. But with a bit of guts and daring, Mary snatches her man right back from Crystal's clutches. Snappy, witty dialogue, helps send the humor over the top. "I don't ask any man to understand me. How could he? I'm a woman." "The Women" is a satire of life behind the closed doors of women's culture. It exposes the indulgence of the wealthy who have been shielded from the worst effects of the Depression, but places them squarely in the midst of the class tension of the time. While working women in the play participate in skewering the Park Avenue ladies, all the ladies are keenly aware that regardless of class or race, one of the most lucrative and secure jobs available is that of "wife," and they do it with sparkling, witty, and clever dialogue. An all female cast! . . . and it's all about the men! Ten Spot Thursday: Mar 2 - Tickets $10 Talk Back: Sun, Mar 12 Running Time
2 hour and 45 minutes, with ONE 15 minute Intermission CAST
