In “Four Dinners,” the true dynamics of sisterhood are shared over four different dinners in one apartment.
We meet Penny and Charlie, sisters who are both queer and in their 20s. Charlie doesn’t shy from sharing her thoughts on their conservative mom and how it affects her. The sisters butt heads quite often, sharing an inside look at what it’s like to be so similar yet different from your siblings.
Penny has a roommate, Talia, who is also a lesbian, and quickly Charlie learns a lot about Talia. The girls aren’t slow to share their interest in each other. The actors share an intense chemistry and aren’t afraid to show it. The characters are witty and grab your attention with the conversations surrounding what “casual sex” is.
At times, you do feel like a fly on the wall, seeing the characters kiss, fight, and think. It comes down to how we can truly work through our discomforts and face them. It leaves you wondering, was all the drama worth it?
In a story of desire, belonging and girlhood, the play shares an inside look on what it means to love another woman. Two queer women from Paper Rose Theatrics wrote the play and it was accepted into the Orlando Fringe Festival under the Amplified Voices Lottery.
