Women’s roles explored
The identity and roles of women are explored in the Free Theatre’s next production. The production involves two plays, “Double Act,” by the French dramatist Eugene lonesco, and “Postponeless,” by a local playwright, Priscilla Blight.
A 20-minute shadow play will separate the two. “Double Act” is a farce, dealing with the masks and illusions older women use to get through life. “Postponeless” deals with the roles of a domestic woman and an adolescent woman, and the way
they relate to those around them. It is a surreal farce. The production runs at the Free Theatre from February 10 to February 14. Admission is $5 for the unwaged, $7 for the waged. The performance runs for about 90 minutes.
