Rondo Theatre

Why do lesbians never survive a love story?

Defying the corseted, steamy play they’re rehearsing, Stacy and Adrienne attempt to fall in love: authentically, stupidly, and without dying.

Having somehow landed back in the rural village where they grew up, Stacy and Adrienne find themselves starring in this year’s community hall production: The Forbidden Fruit. It’s a Regency-era lesbian melodrama, a catastrophe of clichés and male fantasies of hot lesbians ripping off each others’ corsets. They’re pretty sure it’s a crime against gay people, and they’re not even sure they still like each other, after one ran off to London, and the other got stuck. But they need the work - and the company.
