ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN Will Play Theater for the New City, 12/3 Thru 12/20

ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN IN LOW RISE JEANS WITH HIGH CLASS ISSUES, written and directed by Matt Morillo, will play Theater for the New City from December 3rd through the 20th.

The play is a light-to-serious look at the psychology of nervous urban goddesses. In a series of comic vignettes, they go head to head with such issues as Electra complexes, bikini waxes, low rider jeans, their oversexed mothers, thongs, brazen teenagers, men's sexual fantasies, side effects of birth control drugs, mean teenagers on the subway, sympathy sex and the artistic integrity of penises and vaginas in independent films.

In the last two years, "Angry Young Women" has had three sold out runs in NYC (two Off Off Broadway and one Off Broadway), one in L.A., and two separate four-week runs in Sydney, Australia. Its title is now an idiom and it has amassed an enthusiastic fan base. The play, Morillo's first, was published by Samuel French, along with Morillo's second play, "All Aboard the Marriage Hearse."
