THE EIGHT FACES OF JANE: THE LIFE AND WORK OF JANE CHAMBERS
By Alison McMahan


DONATE NOW

The legal and social conflict over gay and lesbian marriage and the existence of TV shows like In The Life and The L-Word form an integral part of today's political and social fabric. Twenty-five years ago, however, a television channel aimed at gay and lesbian audiences would have seemed impossible.

Jane Chambers saw her extended lesbian and gay community as a family and her fourteen-year relationship with another woman as a marriage. She re-created these visions in her plays - a lesbian wedding scene in My Blue Heaven, the extended family in Last Summer at Bluefish Cove. Bluefish Cove has been in production in theaters all over the country ever since.

A generation after Chambers' death her work has become more significant and socially relevant. This documentary will bring Chambers' life and struggles as a writer, both personal and political, to the forefront.
