The Female of the Species

The Female of the Species

Meet Margot Mason, pioneer of the 1970s Women’s Liberation movement, fearless academic, and the brilliant comic creation of playwright Joanna Murray-Smith. Thirty years ago Margot wrote her groundbreaking work and numerous best-sellers followed. Now she has writer’s block. Molly, an unannounced visitor and committed fan of Margot and her work, offers a potential solution – until Molly produces a gun and calmly informs Margot that she intends to kill her! Joanna Murray-Smith’s deliciously wicked comedy deftly walks the tightrope between satire and farce proving the female of the species is not only deadlier, but funnier than the male.
