Louisa May Incest, by Carolyn Gage (fanfiction play, 1990)
"Louisa, I love you. I'm the only one who has ever loved you. That's what you created me for."
Blurb: Jo March from Little Women gets into a fight with her author, Louisa May Alcott, about how her story will end. Who is writing our stories, and how do they trap or free us?
Why is it worth your time?: This play packs a punch! It hurt to read, but it is good. A lot of Gage's work is about the way we adapt to abuse and violence, how it gets into our heads.
Plural Tags: abuse high-focus, closeting, fictioneers, romantic relationships, nonswitching
Content Warnings: Incest! It's in the title! See comments for more.
Access Notes: Available on paperback and ebook. Also included in the collections The Second Coming of Joan of Arc and other plays (the 2004 HerBooks publication) and Nine Short Plays.
