It’s the 1960s, the world is changing. Protesters take the streets for equality and against the Vietnam war, hippies celebrate free love and a young band called “The Beatles” is rising to fame. But not in conservative Switzerland, where women did not get the vote until the 1970s and were legally confined to kitchen and household.
Bette, the star of a popular TV cooking show, and Trudy, a housewife, are about to change that.
The Good Women is a new piece of theatre inspired by a true story about two extraordinary women, their losses, battles with addiction and abuse, political repression—and their audacity to love and dream in spite of it all.
