It’s revenge with a feminist twist
- Newswire.co.nz
- IT’S A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but not as we know it. Wellington playwright Jean Betts’s Revenge of the Amazons, which open at Whitireia’s Performance Centre this week, has a feminist twist. Skaespeare’s traditional male players are replaced by a feminist group portraying “the agony of periods”, and swooning girls take a forceful lead in this modern adaptation.
