Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties by Jen Silverman Salem State
Come See Collective Rage: A play presented by the Salem State Theater Department in the Callan Blackbox Studio.
"....a full-tilt lesbian/bi-curious/genderqueer/Shakespearean comedy for everyone," The New York Times
Betty is rich; Betty is lonely; Betty’s busy working on her truck; Betty wants to talk about love, but Betty needs to hit something. And Betty keeps using a small hand mirror to stare into parts of herself she’s never examined. Five different women named Betty collide at the intersection of anger, sex, and the “thea-tah.”
Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties premiered at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC in September 2016, under the direction of Mike Donahue. The play premiered off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on September 12, 2018. Produced by MCC Theater and directed by Donahue, the off-Broadway production featured Dana Delany, Adina Verson, Ana Villafañe, Lea DeLaria and Chaunté Wayans. Directed by Julie Kiernan.
