The Summer in Gossensass and Molly’s Dream are two topsy-turvy tales that explore sex, fantasy, and feminine desire - all while towing a fine line of surrealism and reality. From the intimate Victorian parlor of a spoofed Hedda Gabler to a bizarre musical in a Wild West bar, both plays create a peculiar and surprising space that invites audiences to laugh loudly and dream daringly. Join us as we honor the legacy of the late nine-time Obie Award-winning Cuban artist María Irene Fornés, with two of her rarely seen dreamlike works.

This performance is part of Celebrando Fornés, a year-long event in which colleges, universities, and theatres across the United States raise awareness of Fornés’s impact on theatre and preserve the legacy of her work.
