At The Bushwick Starr

A co-production with:

written by Julia May Jonas
music & music direction by Brian Cavanagh-Strong
directed by Sarah Hughes

We are thrilled to open the first Season in our new home with a world premiere by celebrated writer, Julia May Jonas.
It’s Cleo’s backyard, Roy’s back in town, and Christine’s brought information. I mean, basil. A riff off Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, A Woman Among Women challenges the audience to participate in the making of a tragic hero, experience her Aristotelian fall from grace, and interrogate the meaning of collective catharsis. A Woman Among Women is part of Jonas’s All Long True American Stories, a cycle of five “response plays” which reimagine five canonical 20th-Century male-experience plays for other people (mostly women).
