Lost Lesbian Lives by Marjorie Conn |
This book contains three one-woman plays written by the remarkable actress and playwright Marjorie Conn. These works and others represent Marj’s unwavering commitment to recording and restoring the lives of lesbians, lives which have been all too often erased from history. The plays in this book focus on three very different women:
Lorena Hickok, an early female reporter and the lover of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Lizzie Borden, the subject of the 19th Century’s “Trial of the Century,” who was also the lover of a famous actress.
Isabella Chase, a fictional character patterned after the real women who disguised themselves as men and served on whaling and other ships in the mid-19th Century.
Each of them encompasses a part of the North American lesbian experience, and thus is a part of our history. Lost Lesbian Lives is a captivating read by itself, and the perfect companion for those fortunate enough to see Marj perform one or all of these great plays.
