Until the tragic Wet T Shirt Relay Race all the passengers on The Celesbian cruise ship looked up to Pru Perez, their pool game emcee, as a leader and Boss Lesbian of the sea. But on this fateful sunny day Pru grabbed the poolside mic one last time. “Ladies, we have a tie on the Lido Deck between  the G Spots and the Beavers!” Before the winner could be named, an old boarding school nemesis, Arlene, pushed Pru into the deep end. Pru paddled, stroked and kicked only to sink deeper as her shameful secret spread to every deck and cabin. Pru Perez can’t swim.  A solo sapphic seafaring spoof.

Marga Gomez’s Swimming with Lesbians

The Marsh San Francisco

Utilizing the multi-storied, multi-roomed Strand Theater as non-traditional theater space, audiences will be broken up into four groups that independently tour Fefu’s home. Stories and histories come into play as you happen across conversations as Fefu’s bohemian and raucous cohorts gossip, question, flirt, provoke, and ultimately reveal (or hide?) the universal understandings between women. As muscular and searing in her deliberate use of language as Albee and Miller at their best; as acidic as Clare Boothe Luce’s iconic play The Women; and patron saint to blockbuster hits like Sleep No More—Fornés’s Fefu and Her Friends is an invitation to a theatrical experience like none other.
