"It is impossible to imagine a better cast or another laugh being squeezed out of this fast-paced comedy ... this is one of the funniest plays for a long time and it will be a sell-out, so get in quickly" - Theatre Australia
“…Generational conflict, given a feminine twist… There’s no denying that The Female of the Species is funny…” - The Australian
Best-selling author Margot is 'sprinting for a deadline' in her country home when she is confronted by Molly. What appears to be hero-worship slowly takes on a sinister edge as it emerges that Molly blames Margot's ever-changing feminist perspective for ruining her life. Then Margot’s family arrives…and her world comically begins to unravel as her family debates the virtues of her best-sellers, her inconsistent world view, and her distinctly un-motherly touch. The upshot of this 'show down' is never predictable and always hilarious.
Inspired by real events, Joanna Murray-Smith’s feminist farce sparkles with intelligence, confidence and humour that will keep you laughing until the end.
