LemonSoap Productions

​In the year 2198, two lesbian astronauts are kidnapped by an Alien Overlord who forces them to perform on loop a musical revue of the entirety of world history. As they spend their days in captivity doing cabaret, the lesbians are forced to consider what became of our humanity and what we the people may become if allowed to survive.

The Lesbian Revue Of World History is a musical comedy cabaret about witch trials, gay whales, alien gods, greek yoghurt, AI rebellions, and the end of the world. Told in three genre defying acts, this Freshly Squeezed LemonSoap production asks us to engage in a farcical, musical, and existential manner with what may become of our gay old humanity.
