3 Male 1 Female

This offers a disturbing and humorous glimpse inside the contemporary world of architecture

Margaret, a young Korean-American student, presents her thesis for a public swimming pool to an all-male jury of famous architects

This simple premise is a jumping-off point for a facile examination of academia, intellectual pretension and the failure of postmodernist culture

The play asks compelling questions about the state of the male-female power struggle, fears of disrupting the status quo and ultimately the importance of challenging tradition

"Anyone who has ever suffered through a dry academic symposium, with various 'experts' pontificating will find much to hoot about" - L. A. Times
