The First Anthology of Lesbian Plays
Kate McDermott
Soon after I sent out my call for scripts, a few friends – Lesbian and straight – made statements to me that this silence in theatre’s publishing world was based on ‘ nothing to say – or no-need to say it’. I guess that view meant that the Lesbian experience leads to no critical or unusual insight, or if the Lesbian experience leads to insight, no Lesbian playwrights were skilled enough to write about it. Either of these explanations seemed even more indefensible and unrealistic than the silence. This book is a testament to a truer reality, our confrontation with an enforced void………..From the Introduction by the editor
Plays: Dos Lesbos by Terry Baum and Carolyn Myers, 8 x 10 Glossy by Sarah Dreher, Going Up by Julia Willis, Immediate Family by Terry Baum, Out Of Bounds by Mariah Burton Nelson, Soup by Ellen Gruber Garvey.
