First produced Off-Broadway in 1977, “Fefu and Her Friends” is a highly regarded play by María Irene Fornés, described by Jesse Green of the New York Times as “more often read and studied than seen” in his review of a rare 2019 revival.
The cast of “Fefu and Her Friends”: standing Marga Gomez, Lisa Anne Porter, Sarita Ocón, Catherine Castellanos, Leontyne Mbele-Mbong and Gindy Goldfield; kneeling: Jennifer Ikeda and Stacy Ross.
“So, it’s not just the normal experience of passively listening to a play.” She adds, possibly as a reassurance, “None of it is scary. There are elevators!” This rare occurence generated expressions of joy, frustration and hope in a roundtable discussion with MacKinnon and company early in the rehearsal process.
“Eight on matinee day,” adds actor-director Cindy Goldfield with a rueful smile, having just completed work on “A Grand Night for Singing” at 42nd Street Moon, which overlapped rehearsals for “Fefu.” “So are you the queen or are you her servant?” asks Stacy Ross in a velvet-over-steel voice dripping with hauteur.
“My origins with an all-women cast started with Lilith Theatre in the Bay Area,” says actor-playwright-comedian Marga Gomez. “I was 20, and I wound up on tour in Europe with them, and it was deliberately a feminist theater. It was an amazing way to start earning my living as a performer.”
