The “f” word
… or Can Feminism be Funny?

Starring:
Tammy Bentz, Sharon Heath, Courtenay Dobbie

Written by:
Susan Bain, Laura Myers

Directed by:
Micki Maunsell

Synopsis:
The “f” word is a light-hearted exploration into the dogmas that perpetuate the feminist myth. Each performer represents a well-worn stereotype, set up with sincere self-effacement: a guerilla feminist, a corporate yuppie, and a tie-dyed hippie.

The women all live in the same apartment building and meet one day on the rooftop. Each has a different but equally valid view on “the f(eminism) word.” Women’s roles and relationships in society are discussed and developed into insightful questions of self and society.
