Jen Silverman’s often raucously funny piece is about five New York women – all called Betty, all from very different backgrounds – who, in coming together to create a piece of devised “thea-tah”, jettison the roles in which they have long been cast.
Betty 1 (Sara Stewart) is an Upper East Side matron who rages against her husband; Betty 2 (Lucy McCormick) is a lonely young woman in a sexless marriage; Betty 3 (Beatriz Romilly) is a Latina nobody in a dead-end job who wants to be a somebody; Betty 4 (Johnnie Fiori) is a lesbian who just wants to fix her truck; and Betty 5 (Genesis Lynea) is genderqueer, recently released from jail and the owner of a boxing gym.
“Straight-up funny.” – New York Magazine Critic's Pick! “A fult-tilt lesbian/bi-curious/genderqueer/Shakespearean comedy for everyone... If you're wondering whether you'll enjoy the revolution, Collective Rage makes an excellent (and hilarious) test case.” – The New York Times “Anger, love and loneliness are comedically but honestly rendered in this occasionally absurd, stylized, queer-centric play... With hilarity and poignancy, Collective Rage offers a broad spectrum of queer voices rarely seen on stage.” – Variety “Told with a singular, wholly original voice that evokes Albee, Suzan Lori-Parks, and even the poetic lyricism of Ntozake Shange. And it is very, very funny.” – DC Metro Theatre Arts “This evocative and explosive exploration of women, relationships, love, and above all— p***y— will rock your world from the time the first of the quintet of Betty Boops are introduced through to the sentimental, albeit bizarre, ending.” – Theatre Bloom “A perfect balance between the really absurd and the absurdly real.” – Broadway World
