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.
