In this academic sex comedy, playwright Madeleine George reframes the traditional narrative of sitcoms by placing three intelligent, queer women center stage. Because the story is set in a town much like Amherst, MA and is influenced by comedic traditions ranging from Shakespeare to Friends, I experimented with ways to physically immerse the actors in the world of the play and turn theories into concrete material they could use. I was also able to contextualize the generation gap between the women through an examination of the different waves of feminism. The play itself engages with higher-planes of thought, so I created my dramaturgical materials to match.
