Brides
of the Moon
written by the Five Lesbian Brothers
"A lesbian sci-fi romp through space, Antarctica,
and a microwave oven - all comedy, all camp.
A group of female astronauts voyage to a far-off moon
system to help populate a space resort, only to find
themselves aimlessly adrift when their ship collides
with unexpected wreckage. Their complications are
further interrupted by malfunctioning Sex Drive Implants,
creating a Sapphic love boat of moaning and unzipped
space suits. To make matters worse, the only people
who have a chance on saving them is a dysfunctional
Midwestern family on Earth, headed by a spaced-out
housewife. A hilarious comedy, Brides of the Moon
surprises with poignant portraits of lost souls reaching
for connection.
WARNING: Adult content, lewd language and ridiculously
bad simulated sex.
This comedy is written by the razor-sharp satirists,
The Five Lesbian Brothers, and produced by a multi-award
winning theatre group, The Leaping Thespians. It is
a bawdy, dystopic and subversive comedy."
Really, it's all shits and giggles.
