Lady Lazarus

by Haley Basil

Callie is stuck. She can't finish her goddamn book, can't pay rent, and can't seem to get over her ex. And oops! She may have just killed him. So, Callie and her best friend Gia (who maybe-is-in-love-with-her-but-let's-not-talk-about-that) go on the run, with Callie's literary agent and a lady cop chasing behind. Can Callie outrun them and her past???

    I really enjoy plays with high comedy and deep emotional honesty mixed together. And in LADY LAZARUS by Haley Basil, each character is revealed in their wonderful flaws and complexities. The examination here of sexuality and gender is sharp and funny with such a distinct point of view. And the monologues within are great character pieces even on their own.

    What a fun, gay, sexy, roadtrip romp through WLW relationships and also homicide! Fantastic monologues in here, and the play flips between hilarious comedy and intensely personal, relatable dissections of relationships, friendships, and sexuality. Lady Lazarus is so REAL and so farcical at the same time. Love.
