Lois Fine

Lois Fine is a Canadian playwright. She is most noted for her play Freda and Jem's Best of the Week, which premiered at Buddies in Bad Times in 2014[1] and garnered a Lambda Literary Award nomination in the Drama category at the 29th Lambda Literary Awards in 2017.[2]

The play, about a longtime lesbian couple's divorce, was inspired in part by the end of Fine's own relationship with Rachel Epstein.[3]
