“A once-daring play has matured over 30 years into a genuine classic, as pertinent and piercing as ever.” – The Hollywood Reporter
Caryl Churchill’s ground-breaking theatrical exploration of the challenges women face in defining their own lives is perhaps more relevant today than ever. In her tribute to the trailblazers—the famous, the infamous and the relatively unknown—Churchill uses their spectacular successes and failures to weave a tapestry against which the strength and resilience of those who continue the struggle in our everyday world are highlighted.
