F**KING SWANS to Make World Premiere at Omnibus Theatre's 96' Festival
Siubhan Harrison, Kelly Lamor Wilson, and Emma Wilkinson Wright star in Elise Marra's new queer play.
Kelly Lamor Wilson and Elise Marra will present the world premiere of F**king Swans, a new play highlighting the intrinsic need to be wanted. The production is currently running at Omnibus Theatre as part of their 96' Festival celebrating queer stories and storytellers. F**king Swans celebrated opening night as co-headliner of the festival and runs through June 13, 2026.
F**king Swans illuminates the power of the decisions we make on a daily basis and the impact they have on the lives of those closest to us. Harper wants a divorce. Ronnie does not. Lindsey wants what's best for everyone. Carol just wants attention. These women have a lot of issues—but being queer isn't one of them.
Siubhan Harrison, Mikkie-Dené Le Roux, Kelly Lamor Wilson, and Emma Wilkinson Wright lead the all-female ensemble and creative team. Eugene O'Neill Semi-Finalist Elise Marra wrote the play and co-directs alongside Rhona Jack. Tony-nominated producer Kelly Lamor Wilson is producing alongside 2003 Productions. Tony Award winner Andrew Paradis and Michael Scott serve as executive producers.
