Early Buzz: Women (@ The PIT)
Chiara Atik’s Women returns for several performances at The PIT following a record-breaking run as part of The Flea Theater’s @serials series, and a successful run at The Kraine Theatre.
Women imagines the characters of the literary classic “Little Women” through the contemporary lens of the hit HBO series “Girls.” It turns out, it’s, like, SOOO hard to be a girl in the 1860s. Nobody understands you, you can’t get your career off the ground and, like, your mom keeps you shut up in your family’s estate. And then, like, your sister dies? Ugh, right?
What comes out of Atik’s unlikely marriage of Louisa May Alcott and Lena Dunham is as insightful as it is hilarious, and a delightful comic experiment. It announces Atik as a hilarious young voice to listen for in the future. We’re fans, you can read our review here.
