FEFU AND HER FRIENDS (Online)

by María Irene Fornés

Directed by Rebecca May Flowers

January 26-29, 2022 (7:30 pm & Sat Matinee @ 2 pm)

Stage Manager: Miranda Watkins

A giant in the world of the feminist avant garde, Queer, Cuban playwright, María Irene Fornés has been called the greatest and least-known dramatist of our time. Her conceptually mind-bending play begins cinematic and ends kaleidoscopic, taking the audience on a physical and emotional journey where it is possible to choose the order in which scenes are experienced. FEFU follows a garden party like no other. It is a fascinating, thrilling, and mercurial piece, equally unsettling, humorous, poetic and brash as it explores the female experience in an almost hallucinatory reverie. 

"...shattering our expectations about both conventional drama and the trajectory of women's relationships..." - Chicago Tribune

Please Note: This play contains discussion and depiction of physical and emotional abuse as well as guns and gunshots
