Introducing: See A Play Club
A companion to the Difficult Women Scene Study class and inspired by the June 2025 town hall at Playwrights Horizons, See A Play Club is a new way to champion contemporary female playwrights and directors—together.
Each month, we’ll pick one play by a contemporary woman playwright and helmed by a woman director. We’ll go see it as a group, then grab drinks nearby to talk about what we saw, what we felt, and what stuck with us.
It’s casual. It’s social. It’s free to join.
Just buy your own ticket. We’ll handle the rest.
Follow Difficult Women on Instagram or join our mailing list to get monthly invites and ticket info.
Let’s see great plays. Let’s talk about them. Let’s support bold new work.

WHY WE'RE DOING THIS:
When this year’s seasons dropped with few to no women in the lineup, over 200 of us showed up at Playwrights Horizons to demand answers—and got none. So, we’re creating our own space. SEE A PLAY CLUB is our way of celebrating and supporting the women writing and directing today.
Come for the play. Stay for the community. 💥
ABOUT IRANIAN GIRLFRIEND
It’s the middle of June and you’re at an airport bar. She’s perched in a corner drinking gin and reading about revolution in dark times. She’s got a line from a poem tattooed on her arm and you ask her who wrote it. She makes you strawberry jam and tells you about Sylvia Plath and other women who lived through wars, contemplated divorce, and bought a lot of fancy dresses. It’s almost winter now and you bring her home to meet your parents. They think her name is interesting.
A darkly comic performance installation about displacement, divorce, and dark times, IRANIAN GIRLFRIEND combines solo performance, video installation, and runway fashion to unpack the untold history and precious objects of a woman on the run, challenging America’s narrow sense of self while offering fresh perspectives on womanhood and belonging.
