Note: This production has been canceled. Feb. 17 through Mar. 20, 2022. Opening night: Feb. 26. By Miranda Rose Hall Directed by Kym Pappas From '5 plays to see in San Diego in February' (KPBS Feature) New York-based playwright Miranda Rose Hall's new work, "Best Lesbian Erotica 1995," was part of Diversionary's 2020 Spark New Play Festival, with a radio play-style virtual reading. This month's fully staged, world premiere production is directed by Kym Pappas, who also directed that virtual reading almost two years ago. The cast for this production is brilliant — including San Diego theater world titans like Laura Zee and Katie Haroff, Andrea Agosto and more. Hall's play is a tryptic of three distinct sketches: a comedy looking at lesbian erotic fiction; a study of domestic terrorism against the backdrop of the Oklahoma City bombing; and a reflection of the LGBTQ woman's role in culture in that era. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS.
