"In the program for Arizona Theatre Company's Women in Jeopardy, ATC's Artistic Director Sean Daniels, who is also the production's director, said that playwright Wendy MacLeod was tired of complaining about the lack of plays that feature female characters over 40, so she went out and wrote one of her own. While it's great to see representation of a close group of women in their "mid-years" represented in Women in Jeopardy, the play itself, which is a cross between "Desperate Housewives," "I Love Lucy," and "CSI," and is amusing and funny in parts, is not an entirely successful comedy. This production is also lacking due to the broad acting and almost slapstick nature that shortchanges the emotional importance of seeing a close group of female friends in their 40s depicted on stage...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"Wendy MacLeod’s charmingly eccentric comedy “Women in Jeopardy” cleverly captures men’s inhumanity to women. The marvelously acted and cleverly staged Arizona Theatre Company production creates a raucous play that enthralls with comedic charm. “Women in Jeopardy” keeps audiences laughing but also makes one reflect on how badly women are handled in our contemporary society which loves to profess equality but doesn’t come close to fairness...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
