Ruth, a middle-aged woman diagnosed with breast cancer travels to New York for the proverbial second opinion. Frugal and sensible, she sublets an apartment, just in case. Her upstairs neighbor, Cassandra, a brash and larger than life actress, takes Ruth on as a cause and together they navigate the painful and unexpectedly amusing minefield ahead.Performed in multiple European countries, AMAZONS is a powerful and poignant look at how women from opposite walks of life can find common ground in combatting their worst fears, not to mention the not always helpful men blocking their paths. Four characters, two acts.
U.S. Premiere at the Generic Theatre in Norfolk, VA ~ 1994
