Closet Drama

BLACKBOX OUTDOOR STAGE

WORLD PREMIERE

BY DAN GRAHAM AND OLIVER ROSS

Anon can’t find the words for his relationship with gender, sexuality, and masculinity, and he’s not ready to make his own.

Using patchworked Shakespeare, he explores and roadtests his identity as a gay trans man, moving from his living room to the coasts of Illyria and Ancient Rome.

Drawing from Twelfth Night, Coriolanus and the broader Shakespeare canon, Closet Drama is part queer reading, part dating sim, inspired by the process of adaptation and the balencing act of visibility and privacy.
