The Verge
A daring and ahead-of-its-time work, The Verge (1921) explores the boundaries of art, science, and a woman’s search for freedom in a world that seeks to confine her. Through the story of Claire Archer—a botanist obsessed with creating new forms of life—Glaspell crafts a thrilling, poetic examination of creativity, madness, and rebellion. Blending expressionism and feminist insight, The Verge remains one of Glaspell’s most powerful plays, challenging audiences to question the limits placed on women’s ambition and imagination.
