The Speed Twins is a new play which, according to press material, "unleashes an explosive and darkly comic conflict of desires and challenges us all to ask fundamental questions about identity." This is a bold statement and I'm not sure this is something Maureen Chadwick's play necessarily achieves. The Speed Twins is set in The Gateways Club (a secret venue which welcomed lesbians when when nobody else did) and follows Queenie, who has to face her lesbian feelings when she is reunited with a ghost from her past.
