COLLECTION. It’s definitely a woman’s world in this zany collection of three short plays, where the women pull the strings, or in this case, hold the leashes! In “Woman Holding a Leash,” a grown son asks for a longer leash, literally, since his mother makes him wear a dog collar and leash in public. In “Girl’s Little Daddy,” a father visits his “adorable” daughter in a juvenile prison, where she threatens to stab him with a Barbie shank if he doesn’t buy her a videogame. In “Amazon Nation,” a zookeeper shows some visitors a cage containing the last man on earth and teaches them an ancient form of English called “nagging” so that they can communicate with the beast.
