The Woman
David Zarko. from William C. DeMille

Backstage East 
January 4, 2002
In a year when much was mediocre, the following made memorable impressions: The Howard Carter Archeology Award for Unearthing Worthwhile Plays: To The Mint Theatre for their production of "Rutherford & Son," a 1912 work by the young woman playwright, Githa Sowerby's British family play of conflict, passion, and social change; and to The  Metropolitan Playhouse for their production of "The Woman," an engaging 1911 political drama by William C. de Mille (brother of Cecil B. and father of Agnes).  Discovered on microfilm at the New York Library, it was adapted and directed by David Zarko. The two  leading female roles speak volumes about emerging feminism.
