Someone Must Wash the Dishes:An Anti-Suffrage Satire
Tuesday, March 6, 7-8:30 pm
Many women fought against getting the vote in the early 1900s, but none with more charm, prettier clothes-and less logic-than the fictional speaker in this satiric monologue written by pro-suffragist Marie Jenney Howe, back in 1912. Reviewers have called this production ”wicked” in its wit, and have labeled Michèle LaRue’s performance ”side-splitting.” An Illinois native, now based in New York, LaRue is a professional actress who tours nationally with a repertoire of shows by turn-of-the-previous-century American writers. Marie Jenney Howe wrote Someone Must Wash the Dishes in 1912. Titled An Anti-Suffrage Monologue, it was published in 1913, by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (precursor of the League of Women Voters). This production was directed by Warren Kliewer for New Jersey’s The East Lynne Company-which he founded to revive American plays and literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sponsored by the Wilton League of Women Voters and Wilton Library. Registration highly suggested.
