An all-women absurdist comedy that reimagines the classic marriage plot. Set in the 19th century, The Betrothed follows Kitty, whose carefully laid plans to secure a suitable marriage are thrown into disarray when her brother's engagement falls apart. Determined to restore social order and preserve everyone's prospects for a happy ending, Kitty navigates a web of romantic complications, betrayals, and shifting loyalties. Performed by an all-women cast, the play re-examines and queers the conventions of the traditional marriage plot.
"E Morton’s costumes were particularly well-styled. I was very into Conrad’s revealing unbuttoned shirt and Kitty’s Victorian-Lady-by-way-of-80s-Madonna miniskirt and lace stockings."
"...19th-century society is brought to life by a talented all-women cast against a standout backdrop of costumes and stage design."
