𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: Set in the late seventies, Last Summer at Bluefish Cove is a groundbreaking play about a tight-knit lesbian enclave who gather every summer at an isolated beach resort. The usual lesbian drama is disrupted by the arrival of a newly single straight woman who quickly realizes she’s not as straight as she thought. A story about chosen family, visibility, love and loss, Bluefish Cove was the first lesbian play to open at a mainstream New York Theater for its premiere in 1980.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: period typical homophobia and internalized homophobia, and discussion of illness and death.
