ABOUT

David Drake's The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me is a provocative journey through one man's self-discovery and response to the AIDS epidemic. Channeling his self-described "sissy-boy rage" into a theatrical call to activism, Drake's series of semi-autobiographical monologues offer front-line coverage from the most harrowing days of the AIDS epidemic. An exploration of love, intimacy, Queerness, grief, and rage, Daniel Sappington's immersive-activist production transports audiences to an ACT UP meeting from the early 90's, challenging them move beyond mere spectators to activists themselves.

ABOUT

The Drowning Girls recounts the story of Bessie, Alice and Margaret, three of the many wives of George Joseph Smith, an Edwardian opportunist who made a living marrying women, taking out life insurance policies for them and subsequently drowning them in their baths. Three ghostly brides surface from bathtubs full of water, to gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous, husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. As they make their case, they discover how they have been victimized not only by George Joseph Smith, but also by society at large. Full of rich images, a myriad of characters, a quirky sense of humour and lyrical language, The Drowning Girls is both breathtaking fantasia and social critique.
