What happens when a lascivious lesbian has a mission to convert suburban housewives to … the climate-sustainable ways of permaculture? You won\u2019t be able to resist either! Hurricane Diane<\/em> is equal parts hilarious, sobering, pulpy, and poignant. Prepare to surrender to the gale force and butch charisma of Diane, incognito as the Greek god Dionysus, in this production presented by the Georgetown University Department of Performing Arts. This is an exceptional production that you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Diane<\/em> is Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Madeleine George\u2019s take on the mythical Greek god Dionysus, known chiefly as the deity of wine, fertility, and theater who surrounded himself with worshipful women as acolytes as a way to prove his powers. In George\u2019s version, climate change, suburban gardening, and sexual seduction collide, and Dionysus is a woman who has been living among us in various guises, including a sailor, stripper, rock star, and mayor.<\/p>\n

Most recently as explained in an opening monologue spectacularly delivered by Jane Cai as Diane, she\u2019s been living off the grid with a bunch of lesbian separatists (in a \u201cconsensus-based community,\u201d what else?) outside of Burlington, Vermont, operating her own landscaping business with a focus on sustainability and small-scale permaculture.<\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s time for Dionysus\/Diane to return because humans are despoiling the earth to such a degree that humanity will be decimated and \u201cthere won\u2019t be a single human left on the planet to worship me!\u201d So, it\u2019s time for a comeback, and Red Bank, New Jersey, suburbia is the perfect place, where Diane storms into the lives of four housewives living on a cul-de-sac to offer her services as a gardener like no other. The time implied is the recent Hurricane Sandy past.<\/p>\n

Diane pulls out all the stops to convince the housewives to choose sustainability over curb appeal and appearances. She cajoles, reasons, and insists. She flirts and swaggers. And seduction is not off the table; it\u2019s on the menu. A word here about that: Director Michael T. Williams stages the action clearly showing the housewives as willing participants giving in to Diane\u2019s butch charisma, evident by the actors’ physical movements and reactions to Diane (and in one case being the aggressor rather than the pursued). And it\u2019s obvious that Intimacy & Movement Choreographer Kate Al-Shamma approached the action and the actors with care and consideration. The seduction development and choreography is exquisite. So yes, Diane is lascivious \u2014 but seeking and receiving consent.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the pacing is excellent. The script is full of zingers. It offers all of the actors an opportunity to shine, and shine they do. From the opening moment, Diane (Jane Cai) commands the stage using voice and body in a lengthy monologue that convinces you of her deity and passion for permaculture. Her charm keeps growing throughout the show. Her nods and winks to the audience pull us in. Cai\u2019s comic timing is impeccable. Her performance is captivating and credible.<\/p>\n

Diane first approaches Carol (Claire Cable), who admits her husband Bill doesn\u2019t love her. Carol tells Diane, \u201cI need you to bring my fantasies to life.\u201d Those fantasies turn out to be a wrought-iron accent bench and a lawn with curb appeal in the mold of the prefect photo spreads she drools over in neighbor Renee\u2019s HGTV magazine. It would be easy to dismiss Carol, who is all about \u201ccurb appeal.\u201d But as embodied by Cable, Carol emerges as more than a comfort-seeking caricature. She reveals Carol\u2019s inner torment and repressed rage while insisting Diane respect her boundaries. It\u2019s a nuanced portrayal of a woman on the edge holding tight to a view of herself and her world seeking HGTV perfection.<\/p>\n

Amelia Scott as Pam is simply magnetic as the opinionated, brassy, jewelry-laden, animal-print-wearing, heart-on-her-sleeve Italian American. She delivers so many hilarious lines with priceless aplomb. You can\u2019t take your eyes off her. And her Jersey accent is killer and spot on. She\u2019s the truth-teller, brutally direct but quick to apologize when she crosses the line. She\u2019s entirely believable, and convincing in every respect.<\/p>\n

Beth (Lucia McLaughlin) is terrific as the housewife with the overgrown lawn unattended since her husband left her. When we meet her she exudes fragility. McLaughlin demonstrates a range of emotions as she moves from insecure and insignificant to assured and confident. She changes her voice register and volume. Somehow, even her eyes twinkle after signing on to Diane\u2019s agenda. It\u2019s tough to play a part with so many layers, and McLaughlin does an excellent job.<\/p>\n

Renee (Jazmyn Harmon), the HGTV executive, is the one housewife who needs no convincing about sustainable gardening or hooking up with Diane. She\u2019s believable as the cutting-edge climate change acolyte who is eager to follow Diane\u2019s lead. She plays Renee as likable and genial, yet ready to call out nonsense. Her silences carry as much weight as her dialogue.<\/p>\n

Costume Designer Dorothy Barnes Driggers has done an excellent job outfitting each housewife, from Renee\u2019s tunic to Pam\u2019s snug animal prints to Carol\u2019s Talbot\u2019s look to Beth\u2019s hoodie. Well done.<\/p>\n

A single set represents all four kitchens of the housewives\u2019 cookie-cutter houses. Jessica Trementozzi\u2019s scenic design conveys New Jersey upper-middle-class affluence to perfection: a modern kitchen with wooden accents, a long island in the middle that I read as granite-topped with a sink in it flanked by four stools, a pricey stainless steel stove with raised vented hood, a set of multi-paned French doors that open to the garden in the rear. It\u2019s the place where a bottle of wine is never far from reach, where things get cooking figuratively, where Diane flirts, while the housewives banter and bicker and occasionally engage the audience.<\/p>\n

As a queer woman, it\u2019s refreshing to experience DC theater on something of a tear this spring in featuring lesbians. Just a week ago I was delighted by the lesbians in Bryna Turner\u2019s At the Wedding<\/em> at Studio Theatre and now get to feast again on Madeleine George\u2019s Hurricane Diane<\/em>, with a play centered on another powerful woman, this one a masculine butch lesbian. I hope it\u2019s the start of a new and renewed direction for DC theater. I want to see more lesbians, all of us in all of our diversity.<\/p>\n

In the end, this reimagining of a Greek god is realistic and hopeful. Hurricane Diane<\/em> implores us not to ignore the impending storms and disasters ahead. As the play closes with a new storm descending on the cul-de-sac, the question for the audience is, Are we going to wait until it is too late?<\/p>\n
