In Women
Beware Women, Livia’s buried two husbands and doesn’t want a third. Her
brother is in love with their niece and the niece has been ordered to marry a
fool. Her neighbors are a Duke who likes young, beautiful, married women and an
old woman whose son just married a young, beautiful woman. In Middleton’s
bloody telenovela of raunchy
decadence, erotic depravity and white hot death, the women of Florence know
that husband’s die, lover’s betray and friends are false – but what women have
to fear the most is what it takes to be a successful woman. Women in classical
theatre usually have their pick in life – they can sigh or they can die. The
women of modern Chicago have a few more options, but it's just a different
playing field and the game is still rigged. Two Pence’s signature style of
dynamic staging coupled with passionate clarity of language peels back the skin
on this Chicago premiere 400 years in the making.
