Julia May Jonas’s A Woman Among Women Opens at LCT3 to Mixed Reviews

The LCT3 transfer tests immersive staging and a Miller-inspired moral center that critics say the production fails to fully realize.

Overview

  • A Woman Among Women opened at Lincoln Center Theater’s Claire Tow Theater on June 4, 2026, and will run through June 28.
  • The play is a feminist reworking of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons that shifts the father–son moral crisis to a mother–daughter frame and examines community judgment and ethical responsibility.
  • Director Sarah Cameron Hughes stages most of the piece in the round with audience participation, live music, fourth-wall breaks and a late switch to a proscenium-style backyard to signal a tonal pivot.
  • Reviewers praised Dee Pelletier’s central performance and several cast members but called the script overstuffed, talky and confusing, saying the formal experiments weaken the play’s emotional stakes.
  • The production’s transfer from a 2024 Brooklyn premiere to LCT3 raised expectations for a tighter dramatic payoff, and critics say the show’s uneven structure leaves its Miller-inspired moral climax feeling unearned.
