In the beginning, there was no such thing as men. But it all went downhill from there for The Faggots and Their Friends.
Based on the 1977 cult book by Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta, this 90-minute musical theatre masterpiece does not rewrite history, it radically retells it. Celebrating the queer community, 15 impeccable performers tell the story of the human race from the perspective of the recently oppressed, equipped with musical instruments, various outfits and captivating choreography.
The vast stage at HOME's main theatre space is a blank canvas for endless creativity throughout the performance which starts with the lights on, making the audience feel involved in the production from the off. Later, the audience actually does become part of the performance as the fourth wall is broken for a sing-a-long as an 'abrupt change in style' takes place halfway through.
