I mistakenly thought Garry Hynes was male. But still, yes, no female playwrights, and no premieres.

Understandable mistake, given her name. When she won the Best Director Tony for Beauty Queen of Leenane, I was surprised to discover she was female (and became the first female to win that particular award).

Only one female director? Did Garry Hynes or Phylicia Rashad have a sex change while I wasn't paying attention?

And no world premieres. That's the really troubling fact to me.
