Jen Silverman’s often raucously funny piece is about five New York women – all called Betty, all from very different backgrounds – who, in coming together to create a piece of devised “thea-tah”, jettison the roles in which they have long been cast.
In Collective Rage, the lives of five very different New York women named Betty collide at the intersection of anger, sex and “theat-ah.” As they meet, fall in love, rehearse, revel and rage, they realise that they’ve been stuck reading the same scripts for far too long.
They all come from different backgrounds, and are bored or angry about different things.
Hitting the ring with an electrifying soundtrack, looks to kill and spectacular routines, this outrageous comedy packs the punch to shatter lacquered femininity into a thousand glittering pieces.
This exquisite rejection of shame and stereotype will punch you in the gut, break your heart, and then take you dancing.
