Julia May Jonas' A WOMAN AMONG WOMEN Comes to The Bushwick Starr Next Month

The Bushwick Starr will open the first Season in our new theater with the world premiere of A WOMAN AMONG WOMEN by Julia May Jonas (Your Own Personal Exegesis at LCT3, New York Times Editor's Pick debut novel, Vladimir), directed by Sarah Hughes (Daphne by Renae Simone Jarrett at LCT3, Galatea by MJ Kaufman at Brooklyn Bridge Park), and co-produced with New Georges (HILMA at the Wilma, Grief Hotel at The Public).

 

Part of Jonas's All Long True American Stories (a cycle of five “response plays” which reimagine five canonical 20th-Century male-experience plays for other people, mostly women), A Woman Among Women takes on Arthur Miller's All My Sons—challenging the audience to participate in the making of a tragic hero, experience her Aristotelian fall from grace, and interrogate the meaning of collective catharsis.

Brittany K. Allen as CHRISTINE

Gabriel Brown as ROY

Annie Fang as RIDA/TRISHA

Zoë Geltman as GRACE
