LORDES

By Gethsemane Herron-Coward & Katherine Wilkinson

With the strength of dozens of women, Audre Lorde writes her last poem before illness stills her pen

“LORDES has a lot going for it. Giselle Gant’s Audre is a commanding, charismatic presence. The dialogue of Herron-Coward and Wilkinson is terrific – so terrific, I longed for a full-length play. The dazzling visuals, choreography, music, and vocals create moments of pure joy.”

— Lisa Del Rosso, ONE Magazine

“It’s more a celebratory slice of life. It shows that Audre may have lost her life but never her voice.”

— Tami Shaloum, Round the World Stage
