Williams College Theatre Department present Theatre Honors Spitfire: A Space Femme Fantasia by Lyndsey Bourne Directed by Fiona Selmi ’21 May 1 | 7:00 PM | Virtual | FreeMay 2 | 2:00 PM | Virtual | Free |
Spitfire: A Space Femme Fantasia, by Lyndsey Bourne is a play-thing about a group of female pilots who were secretly tested for astronaut training by a military doctor working with NASA in 1960. A historical story juxtaposed and interspersed with scenes from a contemporary, fictional story about Polly, a space-obsessed teenage girl and a queer romance that goes wrong. The whole thing ends in this queer futurity/utopian rock concert in zero gravity.” Let me know if you think it would be helpful to add anything about my honors project and how it all connects! |
