"The Women" is a wickedly venomous comedy about Manhattan socialites who, for pure sport, urge each other into self-destruction. Having no other occupation or purpose, the women manipulate each other to create gossip-column fodder for their own entertainment. Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 play "The Women" is filled with razor-sharp dialogue and social commentary particular to its time, but its themes -- marriage and divorce, socio-economic class, female friendship, standards of beauty and the role of women in society -- remain stunningly relevant today. Catch "The Women", with its all-female cast of strong, colorful and comedic characters, at Mysterium Theater at The La Habra Depot Playhouse. [less-]
