Rat Wives

Rat Wives


An Adult Comedy - Contains Adult Situations & Language
In this very funny one act, four legendary actresses wait backstage in their dressing room on a blustery night in 1896 preparing to perform in a famous Ibsen production.  They are having some serious personal problems.  They’re drinking before the show.  There is treachery afoot.  Secret confessions are revealed.  Backstage gossip and bickering ensue.  What results is a brilliantly conceived, terrifically witty, hysterically funny, historically-based play that will leave audiences laughing with reckless abandon. Soldiers' Theatre entry in the 2010 IMCOM-E One Act Play Festival!

September 25 - October 3, 2010
