  • Leah Plante-Wiener: macbitches

    McIntosh not only has a viciously sharp ear for the horrors of BFA drama programs and how they replicate themselves between female peers, but also for mean-girl doublespeak, teenaged manipulation, and the vertiginous highs and lows of female friendship. Whip-smart and fast-paced, featuring a well-rounded cast of robust characters that set up all actors to shine, macbitches is a stellar, darkly comical addition to the canon of ensemble pieces for college-aged actresses.
