Naturewoman

In the wake of her grandfathers death, the Masterson family—a prestigious Bostonian clan—awaits the arrival of their cousin, Anna, who prefers to be called Oceana. Having spent most of her life on a sun-soaked tropical island with her father, Oceana embodies a free spirit that starkly contrasts with her conservative relatives values surrounding dress, romance, and entertainment. As tensions rise and patience wears thin, the allure of Oceana captivates a married man, leading to a clash of cultures and desires. Upton Sinclair, celebrated for his groundbreaking novel The Jungle, was also a playwright whose stage works echo his progressive ideals. This production of Naturewoman, part of the 1912 collection Plays of Protest, draws inspiration from Jack London’s character Nature Man, an American hippie in Tahiti.
