HUNGRY WOMEN

About

Winner of last year's SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Competition, Hungry Women is a world-premiere dark comedy that speculates: "What would have happened in a world run by women if all the men died?" This original play covers hundreds of years of absurd and twisted what-if history by way of a sharp script, gripping performances, and a decidedly feminist lens. In between the cannibalism, ghosts, and science fiction, rising playwright Melissa Maney explores survival, identity, sexuality, motherhood, and the reshaping of power in the absence of the patriarchy. In the end, it asks: What are women most hungry for? A world without men? How delicious.
