Queer Eyes on Queer Lives – Alma Tavern Theatre

Queer Eyes on Queer Lives from Watson’s House Productions, is an hour-long anthology show combining three original short plays.

Spanning genres from slapstick comedy to science-fiction drama to black comedy mystery, each show highlights an under-discussed part of queer history.

The show comes to the Alma Tavern Theatre this August, with the following three stories:

The Last Ride of Julie d’Aubigny – a slapstick comedy that explores the life of trouser-wearing duellist and pioneering opera 16th century singer Julie d’Aubigny and how she balances her busy love life as her relationships come to an explosive conclusion.

Gladiators – a science-fiction romance featuring two characters, Balacrus and Francis, who are whisked from their respective time periods of an unknown purpose. As they come to learn what connects them, they are pushed ever closer by their mysterious abductors.

Who Killed Karl Heinrich Ulrichs – an absurdist murder mystery comedy that follows three doctors who investigate the history of a recent murder victim, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs. All is not as it seems, as the corpse has more to say than the doctors let on.
