WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Theater Catalyst's Eternal Spiral Project presents the Philadelphia premiere of Scab, by Sheila
Callaghan. This comic drama is an absurd tale of female duality, love, friendship, sex, betrayal, and role-reversal. Anima, already in crisis, is catapulted into a new and
even more dramatic world when she meets her roommate and polar opposite, Christa. The line between friendship and love blurs as Anima and Christa struggle with guilt, grief and acceptance. Add to the mix Alan, Anima's ex-boyfriend, and a host of mental angels and devils from Anima and Christa's subconscious, and you have a wildly funny, darkly disturbing
multi-media dramedy. Deborah Block directs.

Throughout the 20th century, the response of male critics to the work of female playwrights has ranged from the misguided to the reprehensible. Unable to relate to often intensely personal slice-of-life dramas, critics dismiss them as narrow and trivial, lacking the universality of the plays written by men. That reception has contributed to the marginalization of women in theater, a fate that one can only hope will not be suffered by Sheila Callaghan, the young author of Scab.
Both a coming-of-age love story and a spiritual awakening, Scab focuses on two Grad School roommates from very different backgrounds. Wandering in to their small apartment with her James Taylor tapes, video camera, [...]
