The woman is split into two characters--Arlie, the rebellious lively girl who entered prison after a robbery gone wrong, and Arlene, the chastened parolee trying to make a life for herself. There isn't really any hope in the play, but at the end Arlene and Arlie accept each other. Arlie/Arlene has been misused and abused, and her resilience and survival strategies are remarkable. But in the end, she is only surviving. As society begins to reckon with the cost of the patriarchy, this pain is all too familiar. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Released from prison Arlene returns to a run-down apartment in Louisville, intent on starting her life over. Rebellious and disruptive as a young girl, she has found strength in religion and wants to put her youth (as Arlie) behind her. But her struggle to find her way in the present (as Arlene) is counterpointed by flashbacks of her past (as Arlie). We meet the guards and prison officials with whom Arlie waged a running batle; and the unfeeling, slatternly mother, the lecherous former prison guard, the pimp ex-boyfriend, and the touchingly friendly neighbor with whom Arlene is confronted in the present. Ultimately the play, like life, offers no simple answers -- but it conveys, with heartrending honesty and compassion, the struggle of someone fighting for her life against incredible odds.
