Women Reviews
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...More Louisa May than Lena, the affectionate send-up Women recasts Alcott's Civil War–era novel of feminine blossoming (as told by Gillian Armstrong's unapologetically saccharine '90s film version, starring Winona Ryder) in the self-conscious, rapid-fire but impeccably articulated chatter of HBO's Girls. Written by Chiara Atik and directed by Stephanie Ward, this expertly timed, tirelessly paced remount of the Hollywood Fringe favorite leaps from joke to joke, wickedly reimagining the March girls as a millennial quartet fumbling their way into adulthood."
Broadway World- Somewhat Recommended
"...Kudos to the cast's commitment to their sometimes sketchy roles in this extended sketch comedy piece. As within the confines of a skit's construct, the punchline comes via skin-surfaced characters with not much time to develop three-dimensions. So too, in Women, each character, as written, has one or two characteristics emphasized to lead to the punchline."

"...Playwright Chiara Atik has crafted a wonderfully wicked script which is perfectly directed by Stephanie Ward. This is the show to watch if you need a quick pick-me-up. It moves like White Lightning and keeps you laughing from start to finish."

"...Though not a deep meaningful play about women's struggles, or sexual identity, or rebelling against social standards-though strangely it includes all of these-this is just a silly little show that will keep you smiling, if not laughing out loud."
Cynthia Citron- Not Recommended
"...If you're looking for a play thst is smart, witty, well written, well acted, and well directed, this isn't it."
