Ruthless! 1992 - Articles Page 24

A lawyer frustrated with the inadequacies of the justice system takes matters into her own hands, becoming the ruthless anti-heroine in A. L. Sutter's new psychological thriller novel. These 'Confessions of a Female Vigilante' (published by Xlibris) reveal to readers the consequences of misplaced trust and the irreparable harm to the female psyche caused by relationships with men.

Megan has no idea that her live-in boyfriend Stephen is about to propose - nor does she want him to. But she's been living a lie and has not told him that she's actually in love with his best friend, Matt. Their friend Tom discovers the lie and sets out to confront the pair, but fate intervenes. Their stories are described in a new novel released by Dog Ear Publishing, showing the risks of what can happen when the light of day hits secrets hidden in the shadows. 'Our Lives,' set in Chicago, also features Austin Michaels, a ruthless businessman who will let nothing stop him from getting what he wants for his spoiled daughter, Grace. What he wants now is for Grace to attend an elite design school run by another of Megan's friends, Sam, but she won't even consider it unless she can talk to Grace, who is in rehab for taking drugs. Austin does not take the news well. Tom is in a coma, thanks to the accident, and that event begins to unravel the circle of friends, especially Matt and Megan, who now realizes how much she loves Stephen. But her betrayal of him may come out if Tom regains consciousness or another friend reveals what she knows. Others have worries of their own, including one friend being blackmailed, and a new couple in town are up to no good. A recovering alcoholic falls off the wagon, and more than one person wants revenge. Relationships, new and old, transform in this unforgettable novel of suspense.

Epic Theatre kicks off their page to stage season with a delightfully catty update to Clare Boothe Luce classic The Women retitled THESE RUTHLESS BITCHES.  All of the original themes are still present: loyalty to men, the notion of the Ideal Woman, but everything is slightly sideways in that this re-telling takes place in a Women's Prison.  Comparisons to Orange is the New Black are obvious and easy to make, but telling the story of upper class women in a prison rather than a parlor works surprisingly well.  Instead of being captive by the rules of society, which may not ring as true for the audience today, these women are literally captive by the legal system and have merely transferred their social hierarchies and rules to a more drab environment.

Barbara Eden, star of NBC-TV's long-running 1960s comedy smash I DREAM OF JEANNIE, caught a recent performance of the Off-Broadway hit RUTHLESS! and she visited with the entire cast after the show. Scroll down for photos of her with the company!

'The show is chocked full of camp and kitschy humor, making for a perfect date night or family outing.'
