The Wayward Women

Event time: 7:30 PM

THE WAYWARD WOMEN

written by Jared McDaris

directed by Christopher Elst

A new Elizabethan five-act sex comedy pitting hapless men against

ferocious Amazons. Cordelius, a Swiss Nobleman, and his bondman Julian

are cast by mischance upon the isle of Amosa, where women rule and men

are the gentler sex. The Duchess Penti Celia welcomes them to the

Festival of the New Moon, but celebrations are marred by the

egomaniacal sparring of the wastrel knights Dame Anu (the virtuous)

and Dame Grendela (the fartuous). Posturing, singing, squabbling,

seducing, and all manner of cunning color the Dames' plots to

embarrass and one-up one another, and the poor men soon find

themselves hapless pawns in their game. With overt nods to Hamlet and

MacBeth, and some allusion to other Shakespeare classics, The Wayward

Women is a comedy-pastoral about generational norms, fluid morality

(and gender roles), and good-old-fashioned sex.
