The California Theatre Center presents The Women, Clare Booth Luce's wickedly venomous comedy about 1930s 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. The Women contains 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 relevant today. (Real Housewives, anyone?) A cast of CTC alumnae return to star in this fast-paced revival. Learn More

Description
This Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner examines trust, love, duty and sanity by combining elements of mystery and surprise with old-fashioned storytelling to provide a compelling evening of theater.
Catherine, a troubled young woman in her mid-twenties, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister, and the attentions of her father's former student. These events lead her to question how much of her father's madness or genius she has inherited.
