The Female Of The Species
by Joanna Murray-smith
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, with many appreciating its comedic elements and exploration of feminism. However, some criticize it for being trite or for its representation of characters. Despite the disparities in opinion, the play's humor and pacing are frequently highlighted as strengths.
Synopsis
Margot Mason, a thinly veiled version of Germaine Greer, has writer’s block following publication of her groundbreaking polemic, The Cerebral Vagina
, when in through the French windows steps one of her ex-students—with a gun.
This play frequently says the unsayable and gets away with it under cover of the spiraling comedy.
