Astrid Wentworth is at the top of her game. A superstar trader in the male-dominated world of banking and high finance. She is ruthless and relentless, but she's always played by the boys' rules to get to the top. So when Astrid takes on protégée Priya, she is the perfect person to help this ambitious young woman navigate the industry - as long as Priya is willing to listen. BOYS WILL BE BOYS marks Australian playwright Melissa Bubnic's New York debut. She wrote this prescient play prior to the #MeToo movement, making it a trenchant look at how a woman succeeds in an environment drowning in male toxicity. Is she part of the problem or part of the solution...or both? And in the era of #MeToo, what happens to the women who had to play by the rules of the patriarchy in order to succeed?Videos
