The Waiting Room, scenes 1-4

In class today, we read aloud the first four scenes of The Waiting Room, Act 1. This play was a very humorous depiction of women through the ages and the roles they have played in society. And although we have only read the first four scenes, you can already tell that this play takes a very risque, and upfront technique in telling the story of these women.

The women of this play are VERY varied, each having a different culture and style. Victoria is a severe, controlled women from Victorian-age England, experiencing hysterical fits that her husband believes are cause by her ovaries (crazy man!!!). Wanda is a "ditsy", flirtatious, typical American girl, looking for help with her...implants. And Forgiveness From Heaven is a housewife from China, completely oblivious to the fact that there are some things in her life that are less that...average. Like the fact that her husband has multiple wives, and she just lost a toe.

I have a strange feeling that this play is going to turn out to be insanely hilarious, and more than just a little...mature. :)
