The Convent of Pleasure

Margaret and Katherine are moving? Going back to the earth? Going off the grid? Starting a lesbian sex den (L.S.D. for short)? Or maybe just camping...? Ambitions of meadowy feminist utopias plagued by 17th century men, mortality, and ants.

    This play is intimate and interesting and so so heartfelt. It was a treat to see it come to life in its first reading with Pipeline and I can't wait to see where it goes. Sarah hits something deep and truthful and a little frightening about us in this.
