Girl Play is a vivacious romantic comedy that is told through a series of humorous flashbacks. This film is sexy, realistic and honest in its characterisations and innovative in structure.

Directed by Lee Friedlander, this film is sexy, realistic and honest in its characterisations.

The story revolves around Robin Greenspan, who is essentially "married" to her girlfriend, and Lacie Harmon, whose relationships don't seem to last past one night of passionate sex. They meet when they are cast to play lesbian lovers in a Los Angeles stage play.

Innocently, flamboyant stage director Gabriel directs the actresses through a series of rehearsals designed to "bring out the intimacy" in each performer. The two women find themselves increasingly and undeniably attracted to each other, and overcome with desire. They must ask themselves whether this relationship is manufactured for the sake of the "girl play", or if it genuinely is true love. What follows is their personal journey to come to terms with their passionate feelings for each other and the life-altering choices they face.

"The lead acting performances are captivating, the screenplay brilliant, and the direction taut and engaging. Refreshingly original, intelligent and funny, Girl Play is, without doubt, one of the best lesbian feature films to ht the screen in years." Amy Schwartz, Image Out Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
