CRT Presents THE WOMEN By Clare Boothe Luce

City Repertory Theatre presents a staged reading of THE WOMEN, an all female 1936 classic, on Friday and Saturday, January 11 and 12 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, January 13 at 3 pm. The production brings together a star-studded ensemble of 10 of CRT's best actresses headed by Annie Gaybis, Anne Kraft and Julia Davidson Truilo. Every secret is laid bare in this no-holds barred struggle for social position, power and the "right man".

Filled with strong, colorful, comedic characters, a snappy supporting cast, and an abundance of witty dialogue, Clare Boothe Luce's The Women is juicy, wicked, and full of guilty fun. Though written 80 years ago, Luce's dialogue still sparkles and still resonates. These women could easily be named Hearst, Jenner or Hilton and their antics covered in today's Vogue or People.

The story concerns contented, kindly Mary Haines, a well-off woman living in New York City, the envy of her friends, boasting a wholesome, happy marriage, adorable children, and a comfortable home. Unfortunately, she is living in a fool's paradise, which she discovers when a tactless, gossip-hungry friend spills the beans. A sultry, gold-digging man-eater, who sets her traps behind the perfume counter at Saks Fifth Avenue, has nabbed her husband. Should Mary keep silent, keep her marriage, and condone her husband's cheating ways or divorce him, making way for her rival to step into her place?

The Women is both a scathing commentary on the life of the superficial, selfish socialite and a knowing, heart-felt depiction of romantic rivalry, toxic friendships, and the thousands of supporting roles women play in offices, salons, and their own lives. With only three performances being offered to the general public this is a 'must grab early' ticket.
