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.

“Told with a singular, wholly original voice that evokes Albee, Suzan Lori-Parks, and even the poetic lyricism of Ntozake Shange. And it is very, very funny.” – DC Metro Theatre Arts

★★★★★“This evocative and explosive exploration of women, relationships, love, and above all— p***y— will rock your world from the time the first of the quintet of Betty Boops are introduced through to the sentimental, albeit bizarre, ending.” – Theatre Bloom

“A perfect balance between the really absurd and the absurdly real.” – Broadway World
