The Triple Goddess: Three Plays Carolyn Gage

Three full-length dramas by Carolyn Gage: The Goddess Tour: It's a dark and stormy night at a remote inn on the Burren of Western Ireland, as six American women -- strangers to each other (or are they?)-gather for a tour of ancient goddess sites. A murder mystery exploring potentially deadly mother-daughter dyads, played out amid ghostly sightings of lost children and pre-Celtic rituals involving various aspects of the goddess Ugly Ducklings: Two counselors at a summer camp struggle with their love against a backdrop of homophobia. Scenes with the campers depict with chilling accuracy the cruelty of girls towards those they perceive as outsiders. Powerful lesbian drama! Esther and Vashti: A romantic drama set against a backdrop of war in ancient Persia. A young Hebrew woman and her former lover, the Queen of Persia, struggle against their personal and political differences to form an alliance against a common enemy.
