In Shady Women: Three Short Plays, Elizabeth Primamore depicts female characters with complex defiant natures and moral dilemmas. These forces drive them beyond the well-lit space of cultural expectations placed upon women. By breaking these norms of silence, fear, and shame, the stories of their lives broaden concepts of the feminine. "Compelling story-telling, inescapably moving characters, and unique structures...Marvelous!" --Jack Hofsiss, Tony Award winning director, The Elephant Man
