THEATER REVIEW: WTF s Chonburi International a poignant story of becoming

Written by Shakina Nayfack  Directed by Laura Savia “There’s always going to be something you’re gonna wanna fix. Welcome to being a woman.” Does anyone besides me remember the play “The Women” by Clare Boothe Luce? It first appeared on Broadway in 1936.

As the provided synopsis above suggests, this is not exactly light and common everyday subject matter. While there are moments of levity, the dialogue and the characters are tough and quite gritty. Some may have trouble coming to grips with the frank, rather graphic, no holds barred elements which are plentiful in this piece. It did not take much for me to envision audience members unable to sit in their discomfort giving up and leaving the performance early.

The Cemetery Club, The Apple Doesn’t Fall…, and more. Lee Wallace, a veteran of the stage and screen who appeared on Broadway regularly from the late 1960s and into the ‘90s, died December 20 at the age of 90 following complications from an illness.
