I grew up a theatre kid hungry for plays that reflected my experience (and rarely found any) - what I would have given to have this play then.
In this play "the smart girl" is not an archetype - every female character is fiercely intelligent, with her own unique challenges and vulnerabilities, learning to how to harness her agency and claim power in a tumultuous climate.
I'm excited for this play to become part of the canon. I hope it empowers young audiences and challenges viewers to question the classics they know.
