Cornerstone Theatre Stages THE WOMEN, Now thru 5/3

Cornerstone Theatre Company will present The Women by Clare Boothe Luce, running tonight, April 16 to May 3, 2015. Central Florida Premiere! Cast of 25 women!

The Women carries us through a number of varied scenes and shows us not only a somewhat unflattering picture of womanhood, but digging under the surface, reveals a human understanding for and sympathy with some of its outstanding figures. The plot involves the efforts of a group of women to play their respective roles in an artificial society that consists of vanity, comedy, tragedy, hope and disappointment.

This brilliant play has assumed the status of a modern classic. Aside from the novelty of its involving a large cast of women (no male characters at all) it is an immensely entertaining panorama of our modern metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint.

The play went on to inspire two movie adaptations; one in 1939 and a modern retelling in 2008.
