HOMOS, OR EVERYONE IN AMERICA

by JORDAN SEAVEY

6 February – 9 March 2024

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE, PRESENTED AS PART OF MARDI GRAS+

“we’ve been a community since
stonewall certainly
harvey milk probably
ancient greece maybe”

In a supposedly ‘post-gay’ America, a booze-infused date in a New York bar sets two men on a rollercoaster ride of lust, love and the messy stuff in between.

Taking place in Brooklyn and jumping around moments in time scattered between 2006 and 2011, this sexually blunt, emotionally raw and outrageously funny dramedy explodes the attitudes, desires and prejudices that sit at the heart of every romantic relationship, gay or straight.

The age-old conflict between committed monogamy and sexual freedom must be navigated, the personal becomes the political, and we go deep into what it means to love to the point of heartbreak and beyond.

“A daringly frank, funny and affecting play” The New York Times

“An engaging evening of theatre … Sonya Kerr creates both humour and pathos … Reuben Solomon and Eddie O’Leary are gloriously vibrant … Axel Berecry gives the production a pleasing texture … The play is a beautiful acknowledgement of the experience of romance, and a teasing invitation to thought.” Theatre Red
