Hugo Dann reviews Adam Myatt's Stood Up

For all his bite, he never comes across as cruel.

Is it ever Queer! Nothing short of a relentless, singing-dancing, full frontal, technicolour assault, replete with queer cultural references

The themes are Love and Death, and as with any play about death it is entirely concerned with life

"Queer Acts Theatre Festival, the annual precursor to Halifax Pride Week, opened last night with a cosmic explosion of queer stories, music, dancing and song. The Festival has added an extra day and expanded its lineup."

At the book's core is how trauma manifests and is passed down through generations; how it impact one's relationships with self, family and partners

This play in its strengths and weaknesses, mirroring often our human frailties, offers us a doorway, an invitation and a choice. And maybe you too will take that uncertain step into the future.

On December 11, a handful of Wayves writers and friends watched a media preview of The Imitation Game, the new biographical movie about computer pioneer Alan Turing. The theatre at Empire Bayers Lake was completely filled for the Thursday evening preview show.

A breathless, tender story of gay love at first sight (we don't hear enough of these!); the prayer of a young man to his Creator, begging to be changed; the heartbreaking grief of a parent for a lost child; the deliciously comic reasoning of why the male G-spot is where it is.

Garry Wiliams and Michal Gaty appear in Williams play, Jesus Is a Faggot. The only thing I didn't like about this play is that right now, the little company is getting ready to take it to the International.
