Richmond Triangle Players presents The Beebo Brinker Chronicles
By Kate Moira Ryan and Linda S. Chapman
Based on the books I Am a Woman, Women in the Shadow and Journey to a Woman by Ann Bannon
Directed by Noreen C. Barnes
Set in pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles follows the lives and loves of Laura, Beth and Beebo as they navigate uncharted territories of desire. Beth and Laura, secret lovers in college, went separate ways after graduation. Beth married and had children; Laura moved to New York. Both pine for each other, but before they can reunite, they find themselves entangled in the web of Beebo Brinker, a butch denizen of the bars with a soft spot for young lesbians fresh off the bus and Jack, a flamboyant fop with caustic wit. Adapted from the 1950’s and 1960’s lesbian pulp novels by Ann Bannon, and a 2008 off-Broadway smash, the play celebrates the era when “the love that dares not speak its name” began breaking the old rules.
