USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…The Women: A Wickedy Witty Social Comedy
Westminster Community Theatre (Westminster, CA)
Clare Booth Luce’s The Women is a wickedly venomous comedy about 1930s Manhattan socialites who, for pure sport, urge each other into self-destruction. Having no other occupation or purpose, the women manipulate each other to create gossip-column fodder for their own entertainment. The Women contains razor-sharp dialogue and social commentary particular to its time, but its themes — marriage and divorce, socio-economic class, female friendship, standards of beauty and the role of women in society — remain relevant today. (Real Housewives, anyone?)
