	Randolph - Brundage Park Playhouse presents "The Women". Before SEX AND THE CITY and THE FIRST WIVES CLUB ... there was THE WOMEN. Set in a 1930s Manhattan milieu of idle socialites and gossip, Claire Boothe Luce's THE WOMEN is a cult

classic that is seldom presented because of the large, all female cast needed. While no men appear in the cast, they are grist for the mill in the social circle of wealthy Mary Haines and her catty clique of high-society wives. However, Mary's perfect world is turned upside down when she accidentally learns of her own husband's philandering. Crystal Allen, a vicious vixen and ruthless gold digger, has set her sights on Mary's husband. Mary initially plays right into her hands, but soon, with the advice and support of comrades experienced in the art of woman-to-woman combat, Mary decides she won't give up without a fight.
