Leisure, Labor, Lust

LEISURE, LABOR, LUST Written and directed by Sara Farrington. New York Premiere, April 2018

Leisure, Labor, Lust is a three-part triptych presented in one evening. Inspired by the work of Edith Wharton and Jacob Riis, this queer love story spans turn-of-the-century New York from the horrors of mental illness to the paralysis of the immigrant to the impossibility of being closeted to a gothic romance. Leisure, Labor, Lust is a contemporary theater piece about everything America was and still is, cleverly disguised in a corset and gown. *Please note this play contains nudity. Not appropriate for children under 14.
