A sharp, comic exploration of sex, love, race and masculinity.
Over the course of one extraordinary night and the following morning, the plays follow a chain of queer lives as they intersect in unexpected and often hilarious ways.
A confession between housemates, an accidental discovery on a dating app, a late-night cruising encounter and an argument about public nudity become funny and surprising explorations of intimacy, prejudice, family, friendship and belonging. As the stories unfold, each play expands the world of the last, revealing unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated lives.
Blending outrageous comedy with moments of genuine tenderness, the plays explore sex, love, race, masculinity and the pressures of navigating a predominantly heterosexual world.
