Synopsis

Winner of the 2018 Lammy for LGBTQ Drama.

The divide between Kendra and Betty mimics the very world that devours them: a vast and polarizing abyss.

On a quiet summer evening, somewhere down in the Alabama Delta, Kendra and Betty troll the flats looking for redfish.

After Betty begins diagnosing Kendra’s dead-end life with career picks from What Color is Your Parachute , their routine fishing excursion takes a violent turn.

This is the full-length version of the 40th Annual Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival winner, The Gulf .

Press Reviews

"Cefaly, who has an ear for the cadence of the region... is invested with an assured, soulful intimacy... How refreshing to encounter a play that does not feel it has to document its sexual politics or suggest that the family’s or community’s reaction, in a part of the country not renowned for tolerance, is what drives a decisive wedge between the characters."
— The Washington Post

"A scorching two-hander character study... The Gulf richly traffics in both silence and the abundant pent-up forces of two people past the first passions of love."
— DC Metro Theater Arts

"As funny as it is powerful, as tender as it is passionate, The Gulf reveals a pair of volatile lovers whose relationship is as sharp as a fishing knife - pointed and dangerous."
— BroadwayWorld
