An astonishing new play by Madeleine George that whirls ancient myth, lesbian pulp, ecological thriller and The Real Housewives of Monmouth County into a perfect storm of timely tragicomedy.” – Jesse Green, The New York Times
In this Obie-winning comedy, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards. Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch lesbian charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity - the Greek god Dionysus- and she’s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than by seducing four housewives in a suburban cul-de-sac?
“Hurricane Diane” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
