Last Summer at Bluefish Cove is a funny, witty, touching, and moving drama, first produced in 1980. Written by the late Jane Chambers, the play provides a tight, truthful script and an intelligent, appealing, very human ensemble of female characters. This historic and groundbreaking lesbian theater piece explores the universal search for love, commitment and personal fulfillment. The plot revolves around a straight woman who unwittingly and naively wanders into the midst of a group of seven lesbians at the beginning of their annual beachside vacation.
The friendships, the laughter, the love, the fears of being outed, the difficulties of being gay and how it affects relationships with family, children, parents and careers, the demonstrations of what the painful price could be for a gay life 35 years ago in everyday America, is told with compassion and respect.
Chambers’ comedic dialogue, sensitivity to human nature and tender treatment of her characters help the play transcend preconceptions and show the universality of these women’s journeys, whether straight or gay.
