Given the shift from. in-person to online theatre during the COVID-19 pandemic, Northern Arizona University's theatre department  transplanted the setting of Fefu and her Friends from 1930 to 2021, and moved the action of the play from Fefu’s enormous hunting lodge to a Zoom meeting which the characters attend from their own homes. Rather than moving between rooms in Fefu’s home (as previously planned), audiences were guided into a series of virtual “breakout rooms,” in which they encountered Fornés’ characters having the same discussions about love, fear, mental health, identity, and gender as they would have in an in-person production. What resulted from these changes was an intimate look at the way in which women speak to each other when they are alone together.
