Stage on Screen: The Women (2002)
Great production of a rarely-staged gem.
This is a wonderful version of this classic, but seldom-staged play. Mary Louise Wilson, Kristen Johnson, Jennifer Coolidge, Lisa Emery, and Mary Bond Davis
are all terrific in their roles. Far better than the1939 George Cukor version with watered down and censored script. Furthermore, unlike the 1939 version, the
costuming, lighting, and stage design are fabulous. The program also offers
interesting insights into the actress' work through the "intermission" interview conducted by Jason Alexander. Here's hoping that "The Women" is released on
DVD just like the 2000 Broadway version of "The Man Who Came to Dinner"
was.
