Theater: The Pain of My Belligerence by Halley Feiffer




The Pain of My Belligerence

Written by Halley Feiffer
Directed by Trip Cullman

GUY
I just wanted to see what it'd feel like to tell you to shut up.

Twenty-something and brilliant, Cat is a journalist at the top of her game: tack-sharp and ambitious, and rapidly establishing her place in the field. Until she meets Guy — magnetic, devilishly charming, and married — and the attrition begins. Charting their spiky relationship over eight years, following a rapidly changing America, Halley Feiffer’s harrowing comedy sheds light on how we perpetuate our roles within a patriarchal culture, and the promise of a new paradigm.
