Fifty years and an ocean apart, with ribald glee, two queens celebrate a century of queer spirit, sex, and hope.
London, 1967. Jack, aging tailor to the West End’s chorus boys, watches the new generation celebrate the decriminalization of sodomy, and laments that they will never know the outlaw happiness he knew as a youthful rentboy. Holding court hilariously, he re-affirms the power of transient love and outsider community.
Toronto, 2024. Matt, service bottom with failing knees, seeks connection with puppies and pronoun-careful Gen Zeds. Remembering the erotic, political, and spiritual transformations of SM, AIDS, and the Radical Faeries, he returns to the ever-unfolding present, and celebrates the continuing project of queer world-building and erotic possibility.
Recalling hankies and Polari, busbies and chaps, rent boys and faeries, tea rooms and back rooms, love and death, they bring the past to the present and celebrate the future.
