MORE ABOUT THE SHOW:
SALVAGE VANGUARD THEATER PRESENTS:
DENIM DOVES
Written by Adrienne Dawes
Salvage Vanguard Theater (SVT) announces the world premiere production of Denim Doves, a MADE IN THE SVT PRODUCTION written by local playwright Adrienne Dawes.
“You are safe here, Sister.” Inside the compound walls, five fertile sister-wives enjoy many freedoms. Free sleep. Free Welch's grape. Free laughter. Free denims of every length. Set in a dystopian future (which feels a lot like the mid-1990s), Denim Doves is a collaboratively devised feminist farce that explores themes of women in subjugation and the hilarious consequences of a rigid dick-tatorship.
