Theatre Victoria's
Season Finale
By Clare Boothe Luce
Set in Manhattan in the ’30s, this cunning comedy is all about
women. It is the quintessential theatrical cat fight, and these
females are cats - cute and cuddly, yet capable of scratching
each other’s eyes out.
Mary Haines is complacent in her marriage to Steven. So
complacent, she loses her husband to ruthless Crystal Allen, who
is aided and abetted by poisonous Sylvia Fowler. Sylvia,
however, doesn't know that her own spouse has taken up with
another woman. Throw in a semi-French Countess, a wise-cracking
chorus girl, a sweet newly-wed friend, and assorted shop girls,
secretaries and beauticians and you get a frothy mixture of
gossip, glamour and gold-digging.
The Women was the Desperate Housewives of its day. It opened on
Broadway in 1935. In 1939, a now-classic film version starred
Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell.
Theatre Victoria's Box Office opens April 7th, and performances
run April 25th through May 3rd. |
