The F*ggots & their Fr*ends Between R*volutions
a play by the Faggots
Concieved, Directed & Produced by Jack Bowes
Produced in 2023 in partnership with Haven’s Guest House Project. Produced in 2024 with support from DCASE.
The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions was a multi-year experimental new play development process that resulted in two sold-out, fully staged productions in 2023 and 2024. Inspired by the 1977 book of the same name, our ensemble devised, wrote, and developed this original show over the course of three years. This show was a celebration of queer community, joy, and resistance.
