The Female of the Species

Rogue Projects presents
THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES
Written by Joanna Murray-Smith
Directed by Erica Lovell

Alone in her country cottage, Margot Mason, rockstar feminist, writer and fearless academic is trying to write her next life-altering bestseller, something that can match her seminal work, The Cerebral Vagina. But rather than producing diamonds, the pressure has only produced crumpled pages and a serious case of writers' block.

Enter Molly, a committed fan with an axe to grind. And a gun.

Faced with the true impact of her life's work, Margot must defend her choices to not only Molly and her gun, but to her daughter, her publisher, an errant taxi driver, and ultimately, us.

Almost twenty years since its premiere, Rogue Projects and director Erica Lovell present this fresh new take on a play that deftly walks the tightrope between satire and farce - a take-no-prisoners comedy that proves the female of the species is not only deadlier, but funnier than the male.

"The Female of the Species is a witty, sassy and intelligent comedy from one of Australia's leading playwrights." - Australian Stage

A "lacerating farcical attack on "old-style" feminism" - Variety
