Black Faggot

A parade of colourful characters collide in this hit comedy by award-winning playwright Victor Rodger. Meet the undercover brother desperate to prove he’s straight, an island mama whose beloved son turns out to be queer, a pious teenager trying to ‘pray the gay away’ and a tough Samoan homo who’s out, proud and in your face. Black Faggot swept the 2013 Auckland Fringe Festival with five awards, and went on to play sold-out seasons with rave reviews from audiences and critics at Melbourne Fringe, Brisbane World Theatre Festival, NZ Festival in Wellington and return seasons in Auckland. Filthy and funny, raw and emotional, and coming to us fresh from being selected as part of the New Zealand season at Edinburgh Fringe 2014, Black Faggot makes audiences laugh and cry – often at the same time. Tickets $38.
