Little Girls Alone in the Woods

“Maybe if I was older. Maybe if I was larger. Or smaller, or prettier, or uglier, or gruffer. Maybe if I was something else I would feel like I existed. Like I could say something and people would turn their heads because they heard it and believed it”.

A small town with small-minded people has a small problem on their hands. Except, it’s not a small problem at all. Girls of the town have gone missing. The citizens fear something fatal has happened to the girls or much worse… the girls could be living freely without the town’s mentorship. To stop this disease of independence from spreading, the civilians have built a fence around the town and declared that all girls under 18 wear a tracking device.

“Morgan Rose’s Little Girls Alone in the Woods is a whip-smart adaptation of The Bacchae that puts a contemporary feminist lens on the Greek legend of Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility, festivity, theatre and ritual madness. It dares us to go into the woods and seek out what knowledge lies beyond the border of respectability and rules. What worlds await us?”
