What an intense and theatrical piece this is! McCarthy manages to maintain so much tension throughout, continuously raises the stakes and keeps them high in this ensemble drama that kept me on edge all night! The characters are specific and driven. A disturbing play that isn't afraid of confrontation.

Just try and read this play and not finish with your jaw on the floor - there are so many reasons to love "The Lesbian Play", even if that love may be swirled with a feeling of horror. Riley Elton McCarthy expertly ratchets up tensions between members of this ensemble cast and engages with questions worthy of theatrical exploration -- but this is not a play of idle musings. Shit gets real, and once it does, the ride does not stop until it has reached its disturbing conclusion. Produce. This. Play.

This disturbing albeit personal play shines in its biting and satirical look at the height of the Tumblr age and collides identity politics, liberalism, and the dawn of the Trump era like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. This is a play that knows its audience and provides a lot of important representation for young trans and BIPOC college students to sink their teeth into. The conversations feel ripped right out of a PWI's hallways. Produce this play!
