| In Brave Smiles. . .Another Lesbian Tragedy, master satirists the Five Lesbian Brothers turn their merciless eyes on the history of lesbians in theater, film, and literature. From their dismal yet erotically charged beginnings at the orphanage under the grip of a sadistic headmistress, our five heroines cross continents and a century to face their absurdly tragic ends. Along the way, they experience alcoholism, suicide, loneliness, pill popping, blacklisting, and a malignant brain tumor. Students of the lesbian art of misery will recognize gleeful skewerings of The Well of Loneliness, The Group, Maedchen in Uniform, and The Children's Hour in this rollicking, hilarious, and smart multicharacter classic. | |||||

Synopsis: | In this sci-fi sex comedy from razor-sharp satirists The Five Lesbian Brothers, a group of female astronauts in the year find themselves adrift in space when a discarded Winnebago crashes into the ship's hull. When their programmed sexual urges are accidentally triggered, the ship becomes a Sapphic love boat. To make matters worse, the only person who can save them is a dotty housewife back on Earth with an unexpected past. A bawdy, distopic comedy that surprises with poignant portraits of lost souls reaching for connection. | |||||

| Irreverent theater group the Five Lesbian Brothers get their greasy prints on a classic. Oedipus at Palm Springs follows the dark adventure of two couples on a retreat to the desert resort town. While new parents Fran and Con try desperately to jump-start their sex life, May-December love bunnies Prin and Terri can't keep their hands off each other. What begins as a hilarious, boozey weekend takes a horrific turn after a secret is revealed. Two parts comedy with a shot of tragedy shaken over ice, Oedipus at Palm Springs is a brave examination of the messy guts of relationships. | |||||

| If Russ Mayer and John Carpenter were characters on The L Word, had a baby and moved to Stepford, perhaps that child would dream up this play. Luckily, such a fantastic turn of events is unnecessary, as the Five Lesbian Brothers have already undertaken this feat in writing The Secretaries. The play bridges the gaps between hilarious and horrifying as the slim-fast slurping secretaries at Coony Lumber Mill in Big Bone, Oregon, induct Patty, the new girl, into their ritualistic world of female empowerment. They count their calories, workout till it hurts, and dress to impress. They wear their hair big and their heels high. They work together and play together and once a month they slaughter a lumberjack together | |||||

Synopsis: | The maiden effort from legendary theater troupe the Five Lesbian Brothers, Voyage to Lesbos takes a darkly humorous look at the warping effects of internalized homophobia and phallo-centrism on the lesbian psyche. The action takes place in Lesbos, Illinois, in a vaguely defined pre-Stonewall, post-Freudian period of American culture. The occasion is Bonnie's wedding day. Five inextricably intertwined women ostensibly prepare for the happy event, while their every action serves to sabotage it. Highlights include several rousing musical numbers and a jerk-off session between the cousins, Bonnie and Connie, involving banal heterosexual fantasy and a vacuum cleaner. Ever treading on thin ice, Voyage to Lesbos laughs so that it does not cry. | |||||
