"A pornographic elegy acquitted by its societal mores as well as its anthem to 1980s San Francisco queer men, in twenty phone calls."

SYNOPSIS

Mike and J.R. have never met and never touched. But together, they can feel each other through their conversations. Their telephone cords become a lifeline. We’re transported to 1985 and the rise of the AIDS crisis in a period where death is an everyday matter, where people have risked so much just to love. By picking up the call from playwright Robert Chesley, we give voice to a generation marginalized by history. What we see on stage is honest, without shame and therefore transcends the sexual act to lay bare our humanity or lack thereof. It’s a moment in theatre that is gay and American, and at the same time, for everyone and Manitoban.
