Before reality TV took over our screens, Clare Boothe Luce gave the world The Women—a deliciously wicked, bite-sized look into the lives of 1930s Manhattan high society. When the lovely Mary Haines discovers her "perfect" husband is having an affair with a gold-digging perfume clerk, her pack of "best friends" are absolutely no help at all. Armed with manicured claws and a divine shade of "Jungle Red" nail polish, these women trade cutting gossip, scheme for status, and wage war in salons, powder rooms, and fitting rooms.
It’s a hilarious, fast-paced satire about toxic friendships, romantic rivalries, and the lengths a woman will go to win back her life. And the best part? It features an legendary, all-female cast where men drive the drama, but never once step on stage!
