This brilliant play has assumed the status of a modern classic. Aside from the novelty of involving a large cast of women (no male characters at all) it is an immensely entertaining panorama of our modern metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint. The author carries us through not only a somewhat unflattering picture of womanhood, but by digging under the surface, reveals a human understanding for, and sympathy with, some outstanding figures. The play revolves around the efforts of a group of women to play their respective roles in an artificial society that consists of vain show, comedy, tragedy, hope and disappointment
