Bonnets: (How Ladies of Good Breeding are Induced to Murder)
The University of Texas at Arlington Department of Theatre Arts and Dance presents Bonnets: (How Ladies of Good Breeding are Induced to Murder), the 2019 play by leading American playwright, Jen Silverman.
God is a character in Silverman’s satirical and angry comedy, and She is asking: why are well-adjusted and mild-mannered ladies driven to murder? God examines three cases: one in colonial-era America involving an axe to the head, one in pre-Revolutionary France involving poison, and one in Victorian England involving an aggressively wielded broom. Are the actions of these young ladies of good breeding pathological or are they just logical? God wants to know. As God continues to investigate, time and space bend and blend the centuries and continents and storylines together; a warping that is aided by tenacious onstage ensemble, “The Bonnets,” a feminist collective who believe that rage and violence are the most fitting response to the circumstances of young ladies in the world.
