The Female Of The Species

Synopsis

A deliciously wicked comedy that proves that the female of the species is not only deadlier, but funnier than the male.

From the author of the West End-hit, <i>Honour</i>.

Thirty years ago Margot Mason, pioneer of the 1970's Women's Liberation movement and fearless academic, wrote her groundbreaking work, <i>The Cerebral Vagina</i>.

Numerous best-sellers and international adulation followed, but now she has writer's block.

As she sits in her country house struggling with a deadline, in walks Molly Rivers, student, idealist and daughter of one of Margot's most dedicated followers.

Initially flattered, Margot is less pleased when Molly handcuffs her to the desk and pulls a gun...

'deliriously funny... I beg you to see it' <i>Sunday Telegraph</i>

'a cracking piece, part hostage drama, part satire, part outrageous farce... hugely entertaining' <i>Telegraph</i>

'a new West End play with a seriously amusing mind of its own' <i>Evening Standard</i>
