Women On Fire
Irene O'Garden
In Flame
by Charlotte Jones
Synopsis
This haunting feminist play about two eras of women, one living in 1908 and the other in the present, won the London critics's Most Promising Playwright award for the author.
A romantic futility pervades the lives of a present day cartographer and waitress, their Edwardian counterparts and respective mother figures as they experience heartbreak, childbirth and aging.
Press Reviews
"A play about life and death, love and lust, guilt and hope and dreams.... Vigorous, poetic and lethally funny, probing hearts with warmth, compassion and irony."
— London Sunday Times
"Has a wonderful sparkiness and brio."
— Guardian
"A delightfully quirky piece [that] combin[es] ... down to earth humor with a sense of the numinous. It's a genuinely original work."
— Daily Telegraph
"A stoic, rueful comedy of female disillusion that fires fresh shots in the sex wars."
