- THE "A" WORD: a
play about women by a woman
THE "A" WORD, a new play by Latife Mardin, will begin performances Friday,
January 26, 2001 at 8pm, at the Greenwich Street Theatre (547 Greenwich
Street).
Mardin is a Turkish-born playwright who brings a unique perspective to this
American story set in the watershed year of 1968. THE "A" WORD examines the
difficult moral questions an unplanned teenage pregnancy raises in a
suburban family. Although the play contains no male characters, the male
presence reverberates throughout as five women negotiate their lives and
definitions of womanhood in a time before the landmark Roe v. Wade case.
Women of the twenty-first century may seem better equipped to define their
identities, but the challenges faced by women in the late sixties are still
very much with us.
THE "A" WORD is scheduled to perform through February 18. Show times are
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm & 7pm. All tickets
are $15 and can be reserved by calling SmartTix at (212) 206-1515.
