Set in 1935, the play shows a slice of the lives of eight women gathered for a day to rehearse for a charity event. This iconic play by Cuban American writer Maria Irene Fornes focuses on gender roles and the struggle against female stereotypes. It is a snapshot of women interacting with each other without men around.
