Description:
Radford University Women's and Gender Studies presents A Celebration of the Life and Work of Maria Irene Fornes with a Reading of Her Play "Fefu and Her Friends", a Women's History Month event, on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at the Bonnie Auditorium inside the Bonnie Hurlburt Student Center on the campus of Radford University.

"Fefu and Her Friends" was the fourteenth play written by Cuban American playwright María Irene Fornés, originally written and produced in 1977. It is known for its alternative staging and use of a solely female cast.

"Fefu and her Friends" is set in New England in the spring of 1935. The story takes the audience through an entire day beginning in the noon and ending in the evening. Fefu and her seven female friends gather at Fefu's house to rehearse a presentation for their charity toward school education. Each character plays a role in this event. Before and after their rehearsal, the women interact with one another, and with male characters, and share their thoughts and feelings about life along with their personal struggles and societal concerns.

Admission is free.
