Product Information

Out of a small, hand-to-mouth women's theater collective called the WOW Caf located on the lower east side of Manhattan there emerged some of the most important theater troupes and performance artists of the 1980s and 1990s. Appearing on the cultural scene at a critical turning point in both the women's movement and feminist theory, WOW put a witty, hilarious, gender-bending, and erotically charged aesthetic on stage for women in general and lesbians in particular. Featured performers included the Split Britches Company, the Five Lesbian Brothers, Carmelita Tropicana, Holly Hughes, Lisa Kron, Deb Margolin, Reno, Peggy Shaw, and Lois Weaver. For three decades the WOW Caf Theatre has nurtured fledgling women writers, designers, and performers who continue to create important performance work. Lady Dicks and Lesbian Brothers offers the first critical history of the WOW Caf , based on dozens of interviews with WOW performers and other participants, newspaper reviews of the earliest productions, and unpublished photographs, and suggests why the collective has had such amazing longevity and an enduring legacy. "A rich and detailed picture of a particular historical moment that has now passed . . . Davy's longstanding association with this world pays off handsomely--it is impossible to imagine that anyone could write a more informative portrait." --Charlotte Canning, University of Texas at Austin

Reviews
"...is a remarkable scholarly achievement, one that addresses egregious omissions in the historical record and charts an alternative genealogy of feminism and its relationship to queer theory by tracing the impulses, desires, influences, and exigencies that conspired to make the WOW Cafe an artistic possibility and a material reality."  -Sara Warner, Theatre Survey, "From Hughes's The Lady Dick to the performances of The Five Lesbian Brothers, WOW Cafe Theatre has offered such a space, and Davy's impeccably researched and well-argued book is a testimony to the ongoing fascination of, and the important cultural contributions made by, feminist, lesbian, and queer performers in the United States."  --Dirk Gindt, Theatre Journal, "Davy uses first-person insights, interviews with WOW members, and archival records, however scant, to position WOW Cafe Theatre within an ever-shifting context of US cultural production. At the same time, she works to recoup the theater's reputation from the slippages of collective memory." -- Choice (Highly Recommended), "... Lady Dicks and Lesbian Brothers fills an urgent need in theater history, gender studies, and lesbian history, and it does so with substance and style." --Robin Bernstein, Women's Review of Books, "...is a remarkable scholarly achievement, one that addresses egregious omissions in the historical record and charts an alternative genealogy of feminism and its relationship to queer theory by tracing the impulses, desires, influences, and exigencies that conspired to make the WOW Cafe an artistic possibility and a material reality."  --Sara Warner, Theatre Survey, "...is a remarkable scholarly achievement, one that addresses egregious omissions in the historical record and charts an alternative genealogy of feminism and its relationship to queer theory by tracing the impulses, desires, influences, and exigencies that conspired to make the WOW Cafe an artistic possibility and a material reality." -- Sara Warner, Theatre Survey, "Davy uses first-person insights, interviews with WOW members, and archival records, however scant, to position WOW Cafe Theatre within an ever-shifting context of US cultural production. At the same time, she works to recoup the theater's reputation from the slippages of collective memory." --- Choice (Highly Recommended), "Davy does a remarkable job of recuperating for her readers a history of WOW that offers not only many details and dates (which are valuable because WOW's record-keeping has been minimal and sporadic), but also a sense of the energy and excitement that WOW generated." - Critical Quarterly, "... Lady Dicks and Lesbian Brothers fills an urgent need in theater history, gender studies, and lesbian history, and it does so with substance and style." -- Robin Bernstein, Women's Review of Books, "Davy uses first-person insights, interviews with WOW members, and archival records, however scant, to position WOW Cafe Theatre within an ever-shifting context of US cultural production.

I found myself immersed in the world of the East Village theatre scene and its connections to the larger world of feminism, theatre, and politics. Davy's longstanding association with this world pays off handsomely---it is impossible to imagine that anyone could write a more informative portrait." ---Charlotte Canning, University of Texas at Austin, "From Hughes's The Lady Dick to the performances of The Five Lesbian Brothers, WOW Cafe Theatre has offered such a space, and Davy's impeccably researched and well-argued book is a testimony to the ongoing fascination of, and the important cultural contributions made by, feminist, lesbian, and queer performers in the United States." --Dirk Gindt, Theatre Journal, "...is a remarkable scholarly achievement, one that addresses egregious omissions in the historical record and charts an alternative genealogy of feminism and its relationship to queer theory by tracing the impulses, desires, influences, and exigencies that conspired to make the WOW Cafe an artistic possibility and a material reality." --Sara Warner, Theatre Survey, "From Hughes's The Lady Dick to the performances of The Five Lesbian Brothers, WOW Cafe Theatre has offered such a space, and Davy's impeccably researched and well-argued book is a testimony to the ongoing fascination of, and the important cultural contributions made by, feminist, lesbian, and queer performers in the United States." -- Dirk Gindt, Theatre Journal, "Davy does a remarkable job of recuperating for her readers a history of WOW that offers not only many details and dates (which are valuable because WOW's record-keeping has been minimal and sporadic), but also a sense of the energy and excitement that WOW generated." -- Critical Quarterly
