WomenMatter: Facts & Trade-Offs turns for the first time to a powerful play which spotlights why women have to bring ourselves into the wider world - one woman at a time.

Age of Arousal features five women of almost three generations- and one thirty-five year old male gynecologist. Dr. Nancy Bauer talks with playwright Linda Griffiths and director Blanka Zizka about how each of the women in the play negotiates for herself what it means to be female - and the startling ways that the play uncorks co-ed audiences.

Canadian playwright Linda Griffiths is known not only for the quality of her work, but for the range of her career. As a playwright and actor she has received multiple awards and honors. She is a published author and founder of her own company, Duchess Productions. Age of Arousal is available in book-form from Coach House Books on her website, www.lindagriffiths.ca.

Director Blanka Zizka, has been Co-Artistic Director of The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia since 1981. She has directed over 30 plays and musicals and has been awarded numerous awards and honors, including the first Barrymore Award for Best Direction of a Play.
