sometimes you just need to read a play about lesbians on vacation

[do-you-know-this-play]

[lenbryant]

Last night I saw the classic lesbian drama, Last Summer at Bluefish Cove by the late-great playwright Jane Chambers. It’s the 40th anniversary production. The original version that was produced here ran for two years and launched the career of Jean Smart, who played one of the leads.

Be sure to see this show at the Fountain Theatre if you can. It's a masterpiece of our LGBT culture and a classic play that resonates deeply for anyone who has ever fallen in love and been surrounded by friends and chosen family. The decades have not diminished its power.

HEAR ME OUT:

Blind/ partially blind Jane

Since Jane lost her head, she also lost her memory, and Ive been seeing lots of headcannons that she’s always reaching out with her hands because she doesn’t remember, but her body does.

But what if she’s reaching out because she also can’t see?

It would give another reason for her reaching out, and it would add yet another layer of representation to the musical.

A lot of the Janes I’ve seen always have this blank, doll-eyes stare, almost as if she’s looking through the other choir members.

But what if she just can’t see them? (Or can’t see them well?)

It makes me so sad to think that the people from her past are right there, and she can’t even see them.

I think it would be really cool for someone to portray Jane as though she were sight-impaired.

thinking abt how people hate the lyric change of “will you love me till the day that i die” which is currently, “i wouldnt change my life for a thing” in sugar cloud but i love it because i feel as if it symbolizes the choir’s realization (besides jane) that no. they wouldn’t have changed their life. whether the changes they wanted prior be implausible or not. their life was theirs and they got to live it and remember it. they had a life to be remembered, people knew who they were. some people don’t ever get that. this is really evident when we see ocean right after sugar cloud, and we get it’s not a game/it’s just a ride with the rest of the choir.

i’m gonna be honest, realistically i don’t think any of those fuckers have healthy social relations but at varying levels (all of this is /pos i think it’s a lot more interesting when they clash)

- ocean tries but is so overwhelming and forceful that she dominates every conversation, her whole thing is loving the thrill of competition and most of her relationships would probably crash and burn under her need to debate. i was going to add an essay about why she needs it but this ask also needs to involve the rest of the choir lmfao

- noel is a gay man in a catholic high school, he likely didn’t get much opportunity to develop healthy friendships, the bitterness towards the world and if we’re going the uber dramatic route (the one he’d want) possible passively suicidal tendencies, long-term would be hard because he might fall head-first into all the most destructive things he can think of after so long living in a town where everyone thought him a hell-bound sinner

- mischa is heavily traumatised and has his whole thing against canada, but his relationship with talia shows that he can make friends and have fulfilling relationships. but considering how hard he fell and all the grief, he’s probably really detached until he gets overwhelmingly clingy.

- ricky was ignored in life and had zero change to learn how to properly make friends because nobody gave him a chance.

- penny was literally raised in a cult, there is no way in hell her attachment style is healthy. and jane doe doesn’t remember anything she cannot socialise to save her life.

- constance is the ‘nicest girl in town’ but it’s clearly not something she enjoys, which shows either a willingness or a compulsion to put everyone else’s needs over her own, which is seen in early play blackrose friendship. plus with one of the lines about her yearbook being ‘i never really knew you’ it’s safe to assume she was a background sort of nice, but she likely didn’t have many deep friendships aside from ocean.

in conclusion all of them need therapy and they clash like all hell and there’s a lot of opportunity to capitalise on conflict here
