In Jonathan Tolins’s excellent new play, “The Forgotten Woman,” which is now having its world premiere at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor through June 19, an opera singer named Margaret seems to have it all. She is a rising diva set to star at the Civic Opera House in Chicago for an important series of concerts. She is a mother, a wife, and enjoys a prosperous living.

There’s a popular posting you may have seen on social media, in which photographs and quotes by Kanye West and Jimi Hendrix are paired. The former declares himself “a creative genius, and there’s no other way to word it.” That is juxtaposed with the latter’s declaration that “I wouldn’t say that I’m the greatest guitarist ever. I’d say probably that I’m the greatest guitarist sitting in this chair.”
