A sharp, ferocious satire that spans three centuries, Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue interrogates who gets to speak, who gets believed, and how “good intentions” become instruments of power. In a pristine Connecticut living room, a group of affluent women gather in the comfort of their own certainty—but that certainty begins to fracture when a young working-class mother arrives with nowhere left to turn. With dazzling theatrical audacity, the play fractures time revealing how class, gender, and power replicate themselves across generations under the guise of civility, charity, and righteousness.
