“The Women” is a social satire against the vices and the manias of the high society of New York during the Great Depression of the 1930s; vices and manias which greatly recall today’s high society. It’s a brilliant and funny, sophisticated comedy which revolves around the life of a rich and generous woman, Mary Haines, and her gossipy and social-climber friends. The script of the play offers an acute and amused point of view on the friendship between women, on the idealism of love and on the issue of divorce. The idea is to take on stage the text of Clare Boothe Luce but to retain as a source of inspiration the appeal of costumes, of scenes and the melodramatic effects of Cukor’s film.
