The year is 1917. After waiting years for America to enter the war, Private Sam Sandes has arrived at the Western Front, mustachioed and raring for the fight. This greenhorn soldier has just one problem. A problem that must be kept secret from the bumbling British Sergeant...Private Sandes is a woman.
Disguised as an American Doughboy, Sandes isn't the only drag king in the trench tonight. Bella Bianconi, a bachelorette at wit's end, has come to No Man's Land to land...a man. Felicity Furse, a chronically lucky orphan, is desperate to find her MIA twin brother. As long as the Brit believes this unlikely trio belongs in his boy's club, they're set.
When the Sergeant's number two, Corporal Duchamp, threatens to expose them, the trio must strike a deal: Duchamp will keep their secret, and in return they'll help him escape the Front. If not, they'll make sure Duchamp's first-in-line over the top tomorrow morning. With battle looming, the women have just a few hours to find love, family, and themselves before all hell breaks loose.
Doughboys will play August 7th-22nd, 2026 at the Thistle Theatre, as part of the Edinburgh 2026 Fringe Festival. These are NYC Previews which will be held at Theater for the New City.
