Town & Gown Players will perform Last Summer at Bluefish Cove, a riveting play written by Jane Chambers in 1980 that is widely considered to be the first mainstream theatrical representation of lesbian experiences. The play centers around the main character, Lil, and her female friends who annually vacation at Bluefish Cove, which has become a safe space for lesbian women. A woman fleeing her marriage eventually turns up at the cove, and the women take her into their circle. The women’s relationships grow over the course of this drama. With a cast of only women, this play explores the intricate relationships and suffering among them. Showtimes will occur Aug. 11–12 and 17–19 at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees held at 2 p.m. or Aug. 13 and 20.
