Why hasn't this play been produced yet? Funny, biting, clever, HONEST.

As I was looking up past writers from the Ojai Playwrights Conference, I ran across Mathilde's play and decided to read based on the title. I am so glad that I did. What an extremely funny and heart-breaking theatrical experience! It's a work that you can see clearly on stage as you read it and, unfortunately, I'm not at all surprised that this hasn't had a production. Just like the play "teaches", plays of this magnitude by women are rarely produced and that's a real shame. This work deserves to be seen!

Quite a roller-coaster of a work! As a fan and student of the Mamet Masterclass in playwriting, I have often been confronted with the challenge this piece examines - especially the "theater must entertain, not educate." I can also see both the cis white male problem vs the everyone else problem. Sadly, the final scene shouts to the fact that women, bipoc, LGBTQ+ and more have a place in the professional theater world and the rage expressed might be a bit misplaced? All in all, this had much funny and much poignant and much Wonderful and much horrible.
