Program Note

Pant Suits begins as a computer programmer
 Karen hurries herself in skirt and high heels to go to work and falls down on
 the street in the dead of winter of 1972. This first scene captures how
 ridiculous her company policy is that all the women must wear only skirt suits
 to work. Unlike the simplicity and clarity of the message shown in the first
 scene, the struggles of women in the office to wear pant suits seem far from
 easy as they need the courage even to risk their career. Pant Suits is a
 hilarious and original comedy paying respect to all the women who must fight
 for and eventually win their rights together. [CHOI Jinah]
