Gender on stage or, what do 'Breakdown' and 'Men are from Mars' have in common?

Chicago Tribune: The women's marches held in protest of Donald Trump's inauguration last month threw already-fraught issues of gender discrimination into high profile. Away from the pink hats, three plays on Chicago stages this month also examine gender relationships and privilege — or the lack thereof. The tone and structure of the shows vary greatly — from documentary-style narrative to comedic faux-lecture to seemingly straightforward family drama. But all three question in some way what gender means for our identity and potential.
