The Pliant Girls

May 19–27, 2022

Join us for the final performance of the MFA Class of 2022 in a modern adaptation of Aeschylus's The Suppliants. Fifty sisters are going to be married off to fifty brothers, and so they devise a plan to end the plague of patriarchy that binds them. But will their actions end the cycle of violence or simply perpetuate it? Can an individual defy the group while fighting for a common greater good? Don't miss this humorous and haunting exploration of love, sexual politics, and the power of redemption.
