FEMMES: A TRAGEDY is a contemporary tragicomedy in two acts, partially inspired by Clare Boothe Luce’s 1936 play, The Women. When a community organizer's polyamorous girlfriend drops her overnight for a hot bartender, her friends-- an activist, an academic and a party promoter-- are thrown into girl/girl competition despite their best intentions, and are ultimately forced to parse the ways butch/femme relationships do or don't replicate heterosexual stereotypes.
