"Mankind": New Satire Envisions a Post-Female World

If you thought the future of "The Handmaid's Tale" looked bleak for women, wait till you take a trip to the world of Robert O'Hara's "Mankind", where females have gone extinct. The acclaimed writer-director of "Bootycandy" sets his satirical gaze on a world "where man's capacity to f**k everything up soars to new heights," and focuses on Mark and Jason. They're in a relationship but are keeping things casual -- until Jason gets pregnant. But that's just the beginning of the surprising chain of events that unfolds in this audacious, hilarious world premiere from Playwrights Horizons.
