The Misandrist (an angry comedy)

Jean Betts

Reviewers’ comments include:-

“This tumultuous comic experience explores the roles of women throughout the amazing history of the alterations to fairy tales.”

“A play that explains to men why (some) women hate them; to women why men are confused (but trying); to feminists that their sons are often bewildered; to
boys that there is hope out there and to girls that a safe world is possible – and to all of us why psychiatrists are mad!”

“Angry, funny and constantly entertaining – for anyone interested in Cinderella syndromes and the fascinating and tough world of faery.”

The Misandrist won the Aoraki Playwriting Festival Award 2001.
