What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the humor and campiness present in the collection of plays by The Five Lesbian Brothers. Many find the writing to be both touching and absurd, making it an enjoyable experience for fans of LGBTQ+ themes. Some highlight the over-the-top raunchiness and its resemblance to B-movies as a fun touch, while others reflect on the deeper messages about love and acceptance.
Synopsis
This queer quartet boldly goes where no man has gone before.
Press Reviews
"Like the best new queer art, Voyage to Lesbos co-opts all the most pathetic mainstream stereotypes of gayness, and plays them for all their maliciously parodic worth."
— San Francisco Weekly
"High on lesbian content and unrestrained sexuality."
— SF Bay Guardian
