An insightful commentary on bourgeois feminism, this bold and ingenious work offers one of theater&#8217;s most honest portraits of what it means to be a woman in the modern world. Shoulder-pads may no longer be in fashion, but Churchill\u2019s masterpiece continues to resonate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are two separate casts, High Flyers, and Ball Breakers, for the production. Park is with the High Flyers cast, where she plays Lady Nijo\/Win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This play is usually explored from a feminist or socialist standpoint but as we&#8217;ve delved into the material all of that intellectualization has fallen away,&#8221; said Park. &#8220;What has been revealed is the portraits of very real women in whom I recognize my friends, my mother, my grandmother, all the women in my life who have their own unique life stories of what they&#8217;ve been through and what they&#8217;ve sacrificed along the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The play, directed by <strong>Cameron Watson<\/strong>, runs through May 4.
