The Women
Magenta Theater
606 Main St. Vancouver
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. Clare Booth Luce's 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?) See Magenta Theater Company's fast-paced revival in Vancouver.
