<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Erin Shields has crafted three thought-provoking plays that centre on the inner lives of women, offering space to those who dare to listen. The titular play is an eviscerating satire of gender roles in pop
culture, while <i>Unit B-1717</i> features a woman confronting the way she has subjugated herself to the needs of others, and
<i>And then there was you</i> explores the profound connection between mother and child.
