1900s Women Bonding

    “

    Razor-sharp comedy! It takes the tropes of the far too many ways women have been portrayed in history and skewers them to delightful effect. It feels like a pressure valve releasing steam!

    I'm constantly in love with and delighted by Weingarten's plays. This play was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience and the cast and director had a blast working on it. The irreverence of the piece makes it "hysterical" and sadly still completely relevant.

    Hilarious overlay of 1900 era reality and modern attitude.
