Intersection and Resident Theatre Company Campo Santo are pleased to be working once again with renowned novelist, poet, multimedia performance artist and playwright Jessica Hagedorn to present the world premiere of Fe in the Desert. This new play focuses around Fe, a complicated woman, and takes place in the isolated American desert inside the dramatic commotion of her broken marriage and a home invasion and burglary. The characters who populate Fe in the Desert contend with eachother's hidden fears, lost desires, and broken dreams over the course of a wild and dark night. Spiraling back in time, each character's memories take us to places far and wide - from Hollywood to the American desert to the penitentiary. In her true hybrid style, Hagedorn morphs Filipino melodrama with full fledged musicality, contemporary poetry, and intense personal struggle.

"Hagedorn transcends social strata, gender, culture and politics..." -The San Diego Tribune

"Campo Rules. Spend an evening with Campo Santo and you'll see why this troupe is electrifying local theatre. They create the kind of living, breathing theatre that makes you want to stand up and shout." - J.H. Tompkins, San Francisco Magazine
