THE WOMAN Sets Sydney Fringe Festival Dates This Fall

Inspired by salacious gossip overheard in powder rooms of swank 1930s nightclubs, THE WOMEN is a sharp-witted appraisal of Manhattan's elite...

Written by American author, congresswoman, and devoted wife, Clare Boothe Luce, this comedy of manners is a tongue-in-cheek dissection of the city's indolent ladies of wealth and leisure. Debuting on Broadway in 1936, the play tells the story of the pampered lives and power struggles of seemingly shallow socialites, as well as of the gossip that propels and damages their relationships. Boothe Luce suggests that in every shopgirl or manicurist lurks a prospective home wrecker, and that no friendship is impervious to malicious rumours. We follow a muddle of poised yet spiteful Upper East Siders living in a realm of privilege utterly removed from the humdrum banality of the daily grind.

The cast includes Rachel Baker, Laura Balboni, Emma Birdsall, Phoebe Clark, Catherine Davies, Rebecca Day, Gabi Goddard, Diana Kalfas, Lauren Lloyd Williams, Sian Luxford, Christie New, Chloe Pryce, Georgia Rodgers, Kate Rutherford, Sandy Sharma, Alyssa Stevenson, Antonia Zappi. The Woman is directed by Alexander Andrews
