at Unknown

Set in the business world of the 1980s, this feminist masterpiece by esteemed British playwright Caryl Churchill is a witty and thought-provoking look at the sacrifices women make to achieve success in a male-dominated society.  Churchill begins her inventive script with a surreal dinner party in which a young businesswoman, Marlene, celebrates her recent work promotion with a group of barrier-breaking females from across the ages.  Once the party ends, however, we’re witness to the devastating personal cost of Marlene’s ascension up the corporate ladder, both to her family and herself.

Performance dates are October 26 – October 29 and October 31 – November 4. Show time is 8pm for all performances. Admission is $10 and available only at the door. The Center for Performance Experiment is located at 718 Devine St., between Huger and Gadsden Streets, near the Colonial Life Arena.
The audience at the November 3rd performance is invited to stay after the show for a post-show discussion, facilitated by the Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network (WREN).
