Elizabeth Primamore

Synopsis

In Shady Women: Three Short Plays, Elizabeth Primamore depicts female characters with complex defiant natures and moral dilemmas. These forces drive the characters beyond the well-lit space of cultural expectations placed upon women. By breaking these norms of silence, fear, and shame—believing if they spoke, no one would care, listen, or believe them—the stories of these women’s lives broaden concepts of the feminine.
