The Women
Playwright: Clare Boothe LuceDirector: Matt Holland
Student Groups: Year 3
Description
Set in the 1930s, Mary Haines is a wealthy, New-York-City doyenne who discovers that her husband is cheating on her with a younger, blonder, poorer woman named Crystal. Mary’s socialite, gossipy, so-called friends counsel her to get a divorce and take her husband for everything he’s got. Her world-weary mother advises her to look the other way and hang on to the cushy life she’s married into. Amid the confusion, Mary ends up in Reno with a handful of other grudging divorcees and comes to the conclusion that she’s made a mistake. She sets out to turn the tables on Crystal and reclaim her ex, but at what cost? A searing, satirical comedy of manners that skewers the privileged class and leaves no sex unscathed. Performed by the third year graduating students of the Professional Theatre Program and directed by Matt Holland.
