| Description |
The Women, written in the mid 1930s by the formidable Clare Boothe Luce, is a witty and keenly observed comedy about the private lives of upper class New York women. Director Ross Gumbley has shifted the action of The Women from the Depression to the late 40s and early 50s, and the way that these 'Park Avenue princesses' swan through their lives with scant regard for the financial and social troubles of the lower classes suits the post-war setting well. Some of the language is certainly dated, but the comedy is fresh and sharp, and the concerns of the women are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago. |
