In *The Star Eaters*, an older woman and a younger woman—who also share an erotic relationship—indulge in a period of excess amidst the faded glamour of Atlantic City, complete with casino visits, glamorous costumes, flirtation, and flamboyant behavior. In *OR119*, Peggy Ahwesh conquers yet another genre—the musical—through a bold fusion of texts by Wilhelm Reich (regarding the life energy he termed "orgone") and the writings of feminist theorists. Together with a group of friends, she joyfully improvises on the radical psychologist’s ideas and performs a series of wonderful songs.
