Knitting isn’t just for elderly ladies! In Theresa Rebeck’s comedy, five women experiencing their second youth meet weekly to knit. However, the wool thread isn’t the main storyline. Each of the five women faces life’s challenges or those presented by men. Amid betrayals and disappointments, they discover the healing power of humor and forgiveness. The play’s humor partially masks a dramatic landscape where human relationships are as challenging to develop as they are easy to unravel, much like the knitting projects the protagonists work on.

Staged as part of the “Open Doors for Everyone” Program, “Knit One, Purl Two” is heralded by the New York Times as one of the smartest comedies of manners. It’s a play rich in witty, sarcastic, and incredibly funny dialogues. The show offers generous roles for the actresses and actors of the Bucharest National Theatre.
