Even in scenes where she gets in heated arguments and chokes another character she stays unexcited and keeps her voice monotone. Emma Mason's performance as the jaded title character is flat. Heather Falks is fine as Beth, the lover who wouldn't leave her husband, but she plays the role with a sincerity that doesn't match McGee and Amellio, who treat the text as a humorous exploration of a woman becoming comfortable with her own sexuality. Together McGee and Amellio work quite well, but once other characters are added to the mix the show runs into trouble. Justin Amellio puts in a hilarious performance as Jack, the gay best friend of Laura who shows her the ropes of the big city. Laura, played by Kerry McGee, is a lesbian just off of the train and getting used to both New York City and being out in the open with her sexuality. Chapman, the play is in the same vein as Richmond Triangle Theatre's previous show, “Pulp,” only without the music. What's a girl to do when she realizes the sorority sister of her dreams won't leave her husband? Why, hop on a train for the pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village, of course.īased on Ann Bannon's series of lesbian pulp fiction novels, “The Beebo Brinker Chronicles” was originally produced off-Broadway by Lily Tomlin.
