Sexual Identity

This play centers on two young people in New York who unexpectedly find themselves attracted to one another—a familiar romantic comedy plot.  Except these happen to be two women who have always dated men.  Suddenly a whole set of questions arises that we never ask when watching a typical, heterosexual romantic comedy:  Does this mean they’re lesbians?  Or bisexual?  Or “just experimenting”?  Will they “come out”? 

Here are a few websites that may shed new light on these questions:
