Fe in the Desert

This new play by Jessica Hagedorn focuses around Fe, a complicated woman, and takes place in the isolated American desert inside the dramatic commotion of her broken marriage and a home invasion and burglary. The characters who populate Fe in the Desert contend with each other’s hidden fears, lost desires, and broken dreams over the course of a wild and dark night. Spiraling back in time, each character’s memories take us to places far and wide – from Hollywood to the American desert to the penitentiary. In her true hybrid style, Hagedorn morphs Filipino melodrama with full fledged musicality, contemporary poetry, and intense personal struggle.
