Avon - Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-Suffrage Satire (Performance & Talk)
Posted on: 2019-03-05
What: Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-Suffrage Satire (Performance & Talk)
Where: Avon Library, 281 Country Club Rd., Avon, CT 06001
When: Wednesday, March 27, 2019, 2:00 pm
A special dramatic performance for Women's History Month! Reviewers have called this production "wicked" in its wit, and have labeled Michele LaRue's performance "side-splitting." An Illinois native, now based in New York, LaRue is a professional actress who tours nationally with a repertoire of shows by turn-of-the-previous-century American writers.
Pro-Suffragist Marie Jenney Howe wrote "Someone Must Wash the Dishes" in 1912. Titled "An Anti-Suffrage Monologue," it was published in 1913, by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (precursor of the League of Women Voters). This production was directed by Warren Kliewer for New Jersey's The East Lynne Company - which he founded in 1980 to revive American plays and literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
