Digging into what our relationships - with friends, with colleagues, and with our socio-political contexts - mean to us.
Join The Bechdel Group for an evening of reading 30 minute sections of two separate plays and join in the discussion that follows. The two shows we are visiting in Novemeber are:
Clé Holly's Four
"A string quartet on the brink of a breakup."
Aly Kantor's Murdering Medea
"Queer activist Liv and funky feminist Fil are the hosts of the podcast ‘Monster of the Week,’ in which they dissect and discuss the evil around them. They've just landed a new brand deal requiring them to dedicate an episode to the divisive Greek play 'Medea.' They don't get very far before Fil discovers she's pregnant. In Ohio. In the year 2022. As the girls embark on a very short abortion road trip to Pittsburgh, they must grapple with their own relationship to monstrosity and what it means to be childfree-by-choice in Post-Roe America—and figure out what is really lurking under Medea’s mask."
