Synopsis

The Fairies Are Thirsty is a daring, passionate and poetic exploration of the role of women through all time. In the play, three women—a housewife, a whore and the Virgin Mary—fight to break out of the stereotyped roles in which they have been imprisoned for centuries. At the end of the play they stand alone, “before themselves,” “renewed,” and ask the audience to imagine a world in which such stereotypes do not exist.
