WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN
by Thomas Middleton
Directed by Jordan Friend

Jacobean master Thomas Middletons savagely funny Women Beware Women presents a haunting proposition: if Romeo and Juliet had lived and run away together, they probably would have started to hate each other. Newly eloped Leantio and Bianca arrive in Florence hoping to live happily ever after. Theyve been in love ever since he met her at her balcony window (sounding familiar?). Unfortunately, the cash-strapped Leantio finds himself struck with with a healthy blend of jealousy and insecurity, so he promptly puts his new bride under house arrest. His plan backfires, however, when the wealthy Duke catches site of Bianca, and immediately sets his designs on stealing her away. Meanwhile, across town, an aging socialite seeks to marry off his daughter to a despicable young heir, while she secretly harbors a forbidden desire for another much closer to her. Men from all sides treat the young women as pawns, brokering them for their own power, wealth, and desire. However, as they assert their misogynistic behavior, they fail to realize that they are all pieces in a much larger game of chess -- one being played by Middletons great villainess, the Lady Livia. As this wealthy widow sets her plans for the men in motion, the stories converge into perhaps the most shocking ending in all of Jacobean drama.
