“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.” SufferingValuesSocialLossSpecialGeniusTerribleDramaUniversalTragedyPressureFeminineExceptionalRestrictionIdenticalSocial PressureSpecial Gifts Book:Woman's Share in Social Culture Source: Woman's Share in Social Culture
“As a woman, she [Penelope Cruz] obviously has changed as she has become an adult. But, as an actress, I actually might say that she has not changed that much. And she has something great, especially in comedy, and she hasn't been exploited as much as she could be in comedy, but particularly in that mix between comedy and drama.

And sometimes, the deeper and more human that pain is, the better she is at it.” HumansSometimesCharacterPainTermQualitySituationComedySpecialChangedDramaAdultsPainfulDeeperExtremesActressesCruzPainful Situations Author:Pedro Almodovar

“Some playwrights are obvious influences on younger writers. Arthur Miller (realistic, politically engaged dramas) and Christopher Durang (satirical dark comedies) are examples. But August stands apart, ... He has his special way of seeing things. I remember he and I were at one of those fancy benefits the Rep has. The gay men's chorus was singing, and I was very proud to have brought them into a Rep event. And August says, 'You know, I don't see any black people up there.'

This is the chthonian drama that has no climax but only an enedless round, cycle upon cycle. Microcosm mirrors macrocosm.
