Orestes, a macho maitre d' is infatuated with a tin eared singer married to an academic who never sleeps and is never awake. On the other side of town Orestes's daughter cuts off her hair, joins a coven, and starts dating the captain of a women's football team. Weaving through the action is Polaroid Phillie, an ageless LSD fueled nightclub photographer and fixture at gay bars, Spanish restaurants, street corners and wherever sparks fly. Lovebirds premiered in June 2014 at La Mama Theater, New York City “Hilariously etched characters in an intricate web of love, longing and life. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s thought – provoking.” San Francisco Chronicle "Gomez bucks the solo show trend by straying (mostly) from the autobiographical which was a welcome and refreshing change. Gomez also excelled at delineating and capturing her distinctive characters" East Bay Express Marga Gomez is a comedian, actress and writer/ performer of ten solo plays which have been produced nationally, internationally and in New York at The Public Theater, 47th Street Theatre, Performance Space 122, Dixon Place, and La Mama Experimental Theatre Company.
