THE WOMENBlack Box Theater

Set in the 1930s, Mary Haines lives the life women of the time envy, or so it seems: blissfully married with delightful children and a comfortable home. Whispers of gossip, however, quickly tear down Mary’s idyllic paradise and expose themes of friendship, romance, and heartbreak. Join the ladies of The Women as they discover how to play their roles in a society that encourages vanity and gossip. This modern classic play, an entertaining exploration of the metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint, is full of comedy, tragedy, disappointment, and hope.

Douglas Martin, the innovative Artistic Director of American Repertory Ballet, brings the 1813 romantic classic penned by Jane Austen to life, celebrating its beloved tale of love, manners and marriage in the English gentry, a broad social class that includes those who owned land (the country or landed gentry) as well as the professional classes (lawyers, doctors and clergy) who did not. Specifically, it follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency.
