Get ready for a night of riotous laughter!
Best-selling author Margot is 'sprinting for a deadline' in her country
home when she is confronted by Molly. What appears to be hero-worship
slowly takes on a sinister edge as it emerges that Molly blames
Margot's ever-changing feminist perspective for ruining her life. Then
Margot’s family arrives…and her world comically begins to unravel as
her family debates the virtues of her best-sellers, her inconsistent
world view, and her distinctly un-motherly touch. The upshot of this
'show down' is never predictable and always hilarious.
Inspired by real events, Joanna Murray-Smith’s feminist farce sparkles
with intelligence, confidence and humour that will keep you laughing
until the end
“…Generational conflict, given a feminine twist…There's no denying that The Female of the Species is funny…” The Australian
