On the day America may elect its first woman president, Claire wants nothing more than to be left alone with her toast. But her retreat is interrupted by a series of uninvited guests: the ghosts of presidential campaigns past. As Victoria Woodhull climbs out of the fridge, Margaret Chase Smith emerges from a moving box, and Shirley Chisholm rises from the couch cushions, Claire is dragged into a messy reckoning with her own cynicism, ambition, and the impossible expectations placed on women who dare to lead.
Blending archival text, satire, and chaotic theatricality, Good Lazy Woman reimagines A Christmas Carol for a new political season—one where idealism curdles, history won’t shut up, and even cupcakes can feel like a moral referendum. It’s not about the need for empowerment, but instead exposing a system that’s perfectly designed to keep women from winning—and working out what it will take to finally break it.
