MassOfMen on 5/17/07: "and lastly, I have no vested interest in LB. I have seen the show, I paid my money (a lot of money for that tix) I didn't watch it on a bootleg, yes I saw the flesh and bone of the people up there working their tails off. But do I really have to explain myself to you? are you the judge jury and executioner of Bwyworld.com message board? no.
But I digress, I will leave this subject as I am bored of the rebuttals anyway, and go back to "wasting my time" with the job of building buildings. We have chat boards for architects as well, ya know."

Posted: 5/5/06 at 10:09pmThis isn't quite what you're looking for, but I was in Europe on an FSU trip in the summer of '04 and while we were in London we saw Much Ado About Nothing that had an all female cast. I guess it was okay, but it was about our 2nd day there and we were all tired so I don't remember it too well.

Posted: 5/6/06 at 9:59amRUTHLESS can be done with an all female cast, if you don't use a female impersonator as Sylvia, the agent. It was origially played by a man, but has been played by women. The only male character is the husband, who is talked about all through the show and finally appears for one line at the last moment of the play ("Honey, Im home!"). Usually, a stage hand plays the role.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

The Trojan Women does not have an all-female cast, nor does Three Tall Women, though the only male role in the latter has no lines.
Some others include Taken in Marriage, Uncommon Women and Others, A Lovely Sunday for the Creve Coeur, Lemonade, The Maids (though this can also be done with men in the roles), The Oldest Profession, My Sister in This House, The Great Nebula in Orion and Mädchen in Uniform.

Oh, I knew I left out Bernarda Alba.
Thanks for bringing it back.
