A Very British Lesbian, November 9, 2017, Santa Monica Playhouse

Fiona Goodwin tells her sexuality life story with dry British wit. It includes being the subject of an exorcism when she was a teenager, training to become a nun, travelling the world, a last-ditch attempt at dating a rich, unattractive man, falling in love with a married woman, and finally finding acceptance and happiness in LA. Recently workshopped, the production was rough, but the emotions were real and powerful.

From the program notes: "Trouble was - the truth about myself was so unattractive to me and all the people I cared about - that it was to be buried. Apparently, you can't bury things about yourself selectively. All of me got shut down at some level. Coming out does mean coming out...in every way!"
