Female Nude Seated
a one-act play by Carolyn Gage
This piece, followed by a talkback, was produced online via Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic on May 16, 2020. In the wake of World War I, Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone meet in art school when Evie interrupts Mainie’s attempt to drink a jar of paint thinner. Over a bottle of brandy, the two get to know one another as artists and as women who are struggling to make art in a field dominated by men. A story of female sexuality, trauma, and the demands of artistic ideals, Female Nude Seated shows two young women at a personal crossroads in a time of extraordinary change. They might be able to save one another, however, as they decide to take control of their freedom while shattering the status quo in 1917 London.
