Set in the 1930s, the evening opens with eight friends, all fascinating women, who have gathered in Fefu's home to plan an educational event. The action soon divides into separate scenes exploring the women's relationships with one another and to the society around them. As spectators, you will be invited to move among several different spaces around the theatre, where you will have intimate access to the frivolity, anguish, mystery and complexity of the women's lives. When the guests regroup at the end of the play, you will realize that the spectators have engaged with the story from different perspectives—responding with different emotions for a truly unique theatrical experience.
