NEW YORK—This is a play about women, but the occasional presence and central importance of men is felt throughout.  

Scottish playwright Sharman Macdonald’s “When I Was a Girl I Used to Scream and Shout” takes place somewhere in Scotland, but it could be anywhere. It deals with the trials and tribulations of a mother and daughter, and how one’s individual desires are often in conflict with the other’s.

A strong and thoughtful production.
