Women or Nothing by Ethan Coen Off-Bwy is Nil

I learned a new term; gold star lesbian.  The term refers to a lesbian whose never had sexual intercouse with a man.  Laura (Susa Pourfar) asks Chuck (stand-in Zach Woods.)  Laura is in a lesbian partnership with Gretchen (Halley Feiffer.)  We learn they desire to have a baby & in the way nature intended. Another criteria is with a "proven superb gene specimen."  Gretchen is the most manipulative fictional female since Austen's Emma except Gretchen's motives are selflish & she maneuvers Laura & Chuck with heartless, military precision.  Honesty, dignity & control are bantered between Laura & Gretchen as the modus operandi is covert; seduce Chuck into sex with Laura.  Hopefully, the sexual rendezvous will produce a child by a man who will remain in the dark, living in the dull, sunny state of FL. Despite intelligence issues of human dignity are debated it is within the confines of incredulous & ridiculous circumstances.  Woods who was substituted in last night's performance brings gravis to his maleable character.  The other 3 actors struggle without success to maintain either humor or adeptness in their roles.  The fault lies with the playwright, Ethan Coen, whose bio in the program merely reads "with his brother, Joel, has made 16 movies."  This play does not earn a gold star.  Women or Nothing suggests Joel should stick with his brother or nothing.
