Awkward, Unique, Slow, Dated

See it if you're curious about a rarely produced and moderately charming lesbian one-act that is a unique product of its time

Don't see it if you want prize-worthy dialogue, a fast-paced drama, or convincing acting/costumes/wigs (all of which were very uneven in this production) Read more
