WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Autumn Stages presents the U.S. Premiere of Women on the Verge by Marie Jones (Stones in His Pockets on Broadway), directed by Tony-nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett (Swing! on Broadway).
Women on the Verge of HRT is a comedy about two middle-aged Irish women, Vera and Anna, who have traveled all the way from Belfast to Donegal to see the man of their dreams - Irish singing icon, Daniel O'Donnell. Back at their hotel, the women bemoan a world where women of a certain age are thrown on "the sexual scrap heap". A magical waiter, Fergal, appears from room service, looking and sounding like their idol, bringing tonic for their vodkas and songs for their souls. He also has an uncanny knack for changing into troublesome characters from their past who need to be held accountable.
No performance Wednesday, October 20th, or Saturday October 23rd at 2 PM

In coining the phrase, Almodovar found a description of just about every piece of literature about women ever written: Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, A Streetcar Named Desire (not a bad title itself), and just about any Brontë novel. They all concern women verging on madness. (Okay, exceptions include Jane Austen's heroines and the Gone With the Wind's indomitable Scarlett O'Hara, but even the latter has a verge moment at the end of that novel.)
Marie Jones obviously agrees with this opinion, since she's partially appropriated the title for her play about -- wha[...]
