Straight White Men | Young Jean Lee
Pickpick

2GQ/4M Three sons spend Christmas with their widower father, and perform the bizarre rituals of straight white masculinity. Two genderqueer performers set the stage and control the action. Would love to see this #play. #thinktheatre

I just saw a fantastic adaptation of this at PlayMakers Repertory Company tonight, by playwright Kate Hamill!

Could I love this #play more? No. I am now antsy to see it staged and raring to work on a production of it some day. Such witty dialogue, a tempestuous relationship with Voltaire, and a brilliant woman who defied the limitations of the day to be a force of intellect in physics.

(Pictured: Natacha Roi in the premiere.)

Boston Marriage | David Mamet

Full disclosure: i used to work at the #theater at which this #play had its world premiere. I missed working on the premiere by one year, but the show itself was often spoken about among the company in a reminiscent sort of way. That said, I never read it until now.

Set in 1900 and somewhat reminiscent of Oscar Wilde's #plays, if I had to elevator-pitch this, I'd say "witty drawing room repartee between proto-lesbians."

The Gee's Bend quilts are such works of art, looking forward to this #play about their makers! #thinktheatre
