This play was a lot of fun and really is worth checking out. The content and format are refreshing and enjoyable.
At its roots, it’s a short play about the ironic, momentary connection found through four women participating in a ridiculous focus group on feminine pens. Slim, pink, girly pens designed for women who apparently can’t bear the weight of writing with a medium pointed black BIC.
The playwright Alyson Mead and director Danielle Ozymandias do an excellent job of expanding a very simple concept into a larger conversation about what feminism is, and how it relates to all different types of women.
While all the actors are fairly strong Maikiko James and Tiffany Royale tend to shine a little brighter with their characters. However Marian Gonzalez does deliver quite a few solid hits as Daniella and Lindsay Lamb serves up a fun performance with laugh out lines too. It’s a worthy show that only clocks in at 55 min. Afterwards you can have coffee with your friends and decide if your relationship with the common pen has been forever altered by the F word.
