THE WELL OF HORNINESS- Written by Holly Hughes

If it’s high-spirited, lowbrow lesbian humor you’re after (and these days, who isn’t?), look no further than The Well of Horniness, Holly Hughes’ camp murder mystery. Part play, part soap opera, all silliness, The Well of Horniness wades fearlessly into a sinkhole of hoary clichés (“Something’s fishy,” “She’s Lebanese!”).

Writer/performer Holly Hughes is a 2010-11 Guggenheim fellow. Her performances which include The Well of Horniness, Preaching to the Perverted and The Dog & Pony Show have been widely presented, earning awards like 2 Village Voice Obies, as well as the ire of the religious right. The late Senator Jesse helms denounced her in the us senate as a symptom of everything that’s wrong with America. She is the author of Clit Notes, O Solo Homo and the forthcoming Memories of the Revolution.

She currently teaches at the University of Michigan teaching in the Penny Stamps School of Art & Design and is the co-director of the BFA in Interarts Performance, a degree program offered at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor through the School of Theatre, Music and Dance and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. Her students use their acting, dance, design, and improvisation skills to blur the boundaries between art forms.
