U.S. Drag

U.S. Drag by Gina Gionfriddo, published by Dramatists Play Service Inc in 2006, is a drama that explores the lives of two young women in Manhattan as they navigate their search for love and happiness, often settling for more immediate concerns like rent money. The narrative unfolds as they engage with a community advocacy group called SAFE, which is dedicated to addressing the threat posed by a serial attacker known only as “Ed.” This edition consists of 56 pages and is presented in English.

Readers will encounter a diverse cast of characters, including a socially awkward roommate, a celebrated author, and a man who identifies with crime victims, all of whom are drawn into the complexities of their relationships and the looming presence of “Ed.” The play delves into themes of connection and desperation, as each character seeks solace in others while grappling with their own limitations. The dynamics within this group reveal how the search for safety and companionship can lead to unexpected and often unsettling interactions.
