Last Summer at Bluefish Cove
By Jane Chambers | Directed by Tom Isbell
In the summer of 1980, Eva Margolis leaves her husband and winds up in Bluefish Cove, not knowing she’s stumbled into a community of lesbians. What happens next will forever change her life – and the lives of those around her. Important in the history of lesbian theatre as being “the first mainstream quality literary piece of its kind,” Last Summer at Bluefish Cove is a love story that equally balances comedy and drama, provoking laughter one moment and tears the next. Set on the northeastern tip of Long Island in the 1970s. Including original music composed by Sara Thomsen.
