Women
Playwrights Initiative announces World Premiere Playwright Orlando
- Women Playwrights' Initiative (WPI) has selected Ree Howell and
her script Five Women in Havana as its fourth annual World
Premiere production. The North Carolina-based playwright expects
to be in Orlando for both a developmental reading June 10 and for
the fully-staged production. Writing it was a six-month process,
and thats long for me, said the self-described reclusive
writer. And its only my second project with strong roles
for women! Howells
script was inspired by a collision of events: a major hurricane,
an interest in Cubas near future, interviews by Helen Mirren
and Meryl Streep where they lamented the lack of significant roles
for women, and her fathers appeal that she get out of
her office more.
