Book by Matthew Greene
Music and Lyrics by Kira Stone
Bonnie feels trapped in her 1950s suburban life until a hit-and-run accident ends her abusive marriage and brings her face-to-face with a group of supportive fellow widows at the funeral home. Soon Bonnie learns that these ladies were responsible for her husband's death and the demise of countless other monstrous men like him. Given the chance to join them in their vigilante ways while her suspicious brother-in-law breathes down her neck, Bonnie wonders if she's the murdering kind.
With a driving pop score, a dark sense of humor, and a big moral predicament, Widows takes the audience on one woman's dizzying quest to regain her power.
