GWS Goes to the Theater

On Thursday, November 13, GWS Graduate Assistant Jess Otterbine organized a group of GWS students and attended Villanova Theatre’s production of Charles Mee’s Big Love. The play focuses on gender issues, as fifty sisters flee forced marriages with their fifty male cousins. The production explored relations between men and women, sexuality, marriage, among other gender-related topics.

The play is based on a Greek play called the Suppliant Women by Aeschylus and was directed by Professor Harriet Powers.  Read a glowing review of the production on Stage Magazine here.
