The Beebo Brinker Chronicles at the Fourth Street Theatre


Hourglass Group presents The Beebo Brinker Chronicles, by Kate Moira Ryan and Linda S. Chapman, at the Fourth Street Theatre from 27 Sep - 20 Oct 2007.

Set in pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles celebrates the era when 'the love that dares not speak its name'� began breaking the old rules. Fueled by booze and furtive sex, the play follows the lives and loves of Laura, Beth and Beebo as they navigate uncharted territories of desire.

Beth and Laura, secret lovers in college, went separate ways after graduation: Beth married and had children, Laura moved to New York. Both pine for each other, but before they can reunite, they find themselves entangled in the web of Beebo Brinker, a butch denizen of the bars with a soft spot for young lesbians fresh off the bus. Directed by Leigh Silverman, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles features David Greenspan, Carolyn Baeumler, Autumn Dornfeld, Marin Ireland and Anna Foss Wilson.

Set design by Rachel Hauck, costumes by Theresa Squire, lighting by Nicole Pearce and sound by Jill BC DuBoff.
