James Wilson takes a look at Babe at The New Group:
Stereophonic, this year's Tony Award winner for Best Play, is set in the 1970s and depicts rampant toxic masculinity in the recording industry. The New Group's current production, Babe by Jessica Goldberg, suggests that nearly fifty years later, even with mandatory sensitivity trainings, misogyny and patriarchal microaggressions continue to permeate the music industry. In many ways, the play proposes that the music may have changed, but the song remains largely the same. |
