BASH! (Bay Area SHorts - Pookie Goes Grenading & The Expiration Date)
ABOUT THE PLAYS:
Pookie Goes Grenading
When a young girl named Pookie is denied the opportunity to create her greatest work of art, all hell breaks loose in Camden, New Jersey. What ensues is insane, hilarious, and filled with donuts and terrorism.
The Expiration Date
A midnight storm, a deserted house. Four mysterious women. Premeditation. Is this homicide? Or the death of feminism? At first glance what appears to be the perfect lesbian pulp novel reveals itself as a hilarious and heartbreaking story for our times as two couples-one in first blush of love, the other celebrating a lifetime of partnership, separated by a generation-clash over helium, oysters, and matters of life and death.
