HURRICANE

DIANE

The Real Housewives meets HGTV with a side of “lesbian-pulp-greek-tragedy” in this brand new commentary on climate change.

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity — the Greek god Dionysus — and she's returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac?

In this Obie-winning comedy with a twist, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards.

“An astonishing new play…whirls ancient myth, lesbian pulp, ecological thriller, and The Real Housewives…into a perfect storm of timely tragicomedy.”

— Ben Brantley

“It’s the kind of comedy that holds a tragedy inside it…Hilarious, shattering, and full of...profound human affection, the play both lifts us up and wrings us out.”

— Sara Holdren

“…exceedingly funny and acerbic…the subject matter is very real – what human beings are doing to destroy the planet.”
