NEWS! As tickets for BISON have almost sold out, there will now be an additional late evening performance at 10pm on Saturday night.
As part of the Queer At Queens programme of events, Northern Ireland’s first publicly funded gay theatre company, TheatreofplucK, proudly presents the EuropeanPremiere of Bison by award winning Sydney-based writer Lachlan Philpott.
Removing the rose-tinted spectacles reserved for TV portrayals of gay life, Bison delves beneath the surface to explore aspects of contemporary queer relationships such as virtual identity, monogamy, bareback sex, ageism, and social connection.
Fast, funny and moving, Bison boldly confronts the big questions about sex and love, commitment and freedom, emotional longing and the desire for pleasure and connection.
Having wowed LGBT audiences across Australia, Bison has been workshopped and redeveloped by director Alyson Campbell and an entirely gay cast, stripping back and examining the herd-like behaviour and rules that govern the ’scene’ the world over.
Book your tickets early for what promises to be one of the genuine treats of OUTBURST 2009.
Director: Alyson Campbell Production Design: Niall Rea
CAST: Matthew Cavan, Miche Doherty, Christopher Sutton and Jonny McMillen-Patterson. MUSIC: Nick Gillian
