The Provincetown Cares presentation of Clare Booth Luce's social satire, The Women
promises to bring a fresh look at the high society high jinks of these original Housewives
of New York as they navigate marriage and divorce, friendship, gossip and revenge over
cocktails and cigarettes.
The Women is set in New York City during the height of the Great Depression. Mary
Haines, the protagonist, learns from a gossipy manicurist that her husband, Stephen, is
having an affair with a shop-girl named Crystal. After the news of Stephen's affair is
published in a gossip column, Mary decides to divorce him. She travels to Reno, Nevada,
to obtain a quickie divorce and downplay any potential for scandal. While she is in Reno,
Mary is joined by several of her friends in the same predicament and learns that Stephen
has married Crystal. Two years later, Mary, now living back in New York with her
children, learns that Crystal has been unfaithful to Stephen. With the help of her friends,
Mary sets out to expose Crystal's infidelity in order to win Stephen back.
