Artemis Books & The Well-Meaning Man presented by The Village Theater at Rivendell Theatre

Stage and Cinema - Somewhat Recommended

"...Never meet a man, they say. What happens if we have to work with one? Artemis Books & The Well-Meaning Man poses the complex question of how, if at all, men should be allowed into women’s safe spaces—or if it’s unethical to exclude them. The Village Theater’s world premiere production, directed by Clara Zucker, is certainly bold but might have been more successful if it leaned into the comedy of Paul Michael Thomson‘s play. While quick-moving and funny in moments, it lacks a clear tone and struggles to convey a complex picture of feminism."
