MEET ANN BANNON:
Ann Bannon has been called "The Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction" for her landmark "Beebo Brinker Chronicles," a series of five original paperback novels. The books tell the stories of young lesbians in the gay Mecca of pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village. In the intervening years, Ann's books have become something more than ardent and engaging tales; to a new generation of readers, they provide historical insights into gay life in those faraway days.
In 2004, the process of translating three of the novels into an award-winning theater piece began. Written by playwrights Kate Moira Ryan and Linda S. Chapman, "The Beebo Brinker Chronicles" stage play had two successful runs in New York in 2007 - 2008, produced first by Hourglass Productions, and then by Harriet Newman Leve, with executive producers Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner. The play is opening at Brava on February 26, 2010!
