This is a
show about how
an artist's sexual identity
relates to the way in which they
express their desire. Using Carson
McCullers' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
and Sarah Gubbins' fml: how Carson
McCullers saved my life as emotional
touchstones, the show will examine the
moment when self-preservation and the
compulsion to express ones feelings meet
- when 'the love that dares not', actually
dares. This is not an exclusively "queer"
show, more "queer-ish", a show of all
people who have loved in the face of oppo-
sition.
