The Pliant Girls
April 23 - May 1
By Megan Brown
Directed by Beth Lopes
At the Studio Theatre
Fifty sisters. Fifty weddings. Zero say in the matter. In this explosive contemporary riff on Aeschylus’s The Suppliants, these young women fight, joke, panic, scheme, and refuse to be quietly married off to their cousins. Fierce, funny, and sharply contemporary, The Pliant Girls flips an ancient myth into a bold, feminist rebellion; where sisterhood becomes survival strategy, humor becomes weaponry, and freedom comes at a sprint.
