BORDERLANDS THEATER TO PRESENT THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE PLAY “SHE WAS MY BROTHER” BY JULIE JENSEN, SEPTEMBER 24-OCTOBER 11, 2009 AT ZUZI’S LITTLE THEATER, 783 N. 5TH AVENUE.
Julie Jensen, the playwright who brought us the critically acclaimed play “Dust Eaters” (2007 Season), is back with “the most unlikely love story every told.” What happens when two Victorian white anthropologists –Tullis, a mature woman and Wilson, a young man- encounter Lamana, a “two-spirited” religious leader of the Zuni pueblo? This moving and intense play, loosely based on historical fact, explores the borderline between love, sexual orientation and fluid gender identities.
Directed by Barclay Goldsmith. Featuring Los Angeles film actor Kalani Queypo (“New World”, “Bones”, “The Royal Tennenbaums”, and Culture Clash) and local actors Martie van der Voort and Brian Levario.
