Episode 2: Woman’s Honor
By: Susan Glaspell
Woman’s Honor was first performed as part of the 1917-1918 season of the groundbreaking theatre group Provincetown Players, co-founded by Susan Glaspell.
The emergence of the Provincetown Players has been called “the most important innovative moment in American theatre” and was part of what became known as the Little Theatre movement. Disillusioned by the commercial productions of Broadway, the Provincetown Players sought to foster a more original and experimental form of drama, not dependent on wide commercial success.
The Provincetown Players is largely known for discovering Eugene O’Neill and producing his first plays, but is also significant for producing the plays of Susan Glaspell, who became arguably America’s first important female playwright. First recognized for her short stories, she also wrote 9 novels and 15 plays, including her Pulitzer Prize winning play of 1930, Alison’s House.
