Something's rotten in Big Bone! Pretty Patty Johnson is thrilled to join the secretarial pool at the Cooney Lumber Mill under the iron-fisted leadership of sultry office manager Susan Curtis. But she soon begins to feel that all is not right—the enforced diet of Slim-Fast shakes, the strange clicking language between the girls, the monthly disappearance of a lumberjack. By the time Patty discovers murder is part of these office killers' skill set, it's too late to turn back! In the guise of satiric exploitation-horror, The Secretaries takes an unflinching look at the warping cultural expectations of femininity. The Secretaries premiered at the WOW Cafe in New York City in December 1993 under the direction of Kate Stafford.

 

"The Secretaries is a sustained, amusing look at the fine line between aggression and assertiveness. – The New Yorker

 

"95 minutes of gritty, bawdy, bloody humor pregnant with incisive social commentary." – San Francisco Examiner

 

Due to strong language, depictions of alcohol use, and other sensitive content, The Secretaries is recommended for a mature audience.

 

THE SECRETARIES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
