One of Off-Broadway’s best-loved plays, originally directed by the author. The audience follows the lives of eight women. For this play, María Irene Fornés received one of her nine Obie awards.

 

“A wonderful, important play.” ⁠—⁠Susan Sontag

 

“One of the most powerful plays written about the mysteries and shared hallucinations of the female experience.” ⁠—⁠L A Weekly

 

“Though written in 1977, the message of FEFU AND HER FRIENDS remains ever the same: women don’t know what to do with feminism. Or rather, they don’t know what to do with themselves. It’s a strange, unsettling play, not least because the strong women characters are at a loss with each other and with themselves. Without a man to center around, they disintegrate into cattiness and then madness. Fefu is probably deranged to begin with. She ‘pretends’ to shoot her husband with a gun that may or may not be loaded. She likes men better than women and in fact finds women ‘loathsome.’ Fefu and her friends are a group of society women, circa 1935. They’re bored and affected in the manner of wealthy women who have too much free time.” ⁠—⁠Jenny Sandman, CurtainUp

 

Fefu and Her Friends is recommended for ages 14+.

Content notes:  the production includes prop firearms and the sound of gunshots, and includes depictions of death, distress due to mental illness (including hallucination), and discussion of acquired physical disability.
