@nataliemacaluso "5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche" is the most New York title I've ever heard.
"5 Lesbians Eating Quiche" is hilarious Charles Busch style play. Hysterical campy melodrama. Crying w/ laughter

New York Theatre Review: FringeNYC Review
For the sake of New York audiences in desperate need of smart satire and strong female pieces, 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche deserves a longer run after the festival. This show could be a downtown hit in the upcoming season. |
