Angry Fags by Topher Payne: A Staged Reading

THIS READING IS PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN. Cooper and Bennett are not a gay couple- just a couple of gays. When one of their friends is the victim of an assault outside a local bar, they feel helpless, frightened, and then they feel something new: pure, unfiltered rage. Cooper presents the argument that no one is granted the rights they deserve until people are a little afraid of them. And no one is afraid of gay guys. Not really. They set out to change that. An Oscar Wilde-meets-Fight Club fever dream about how good ideas go bad, with fascinating forays into American politics, bomb building, and pistachios. The reading is at Stage 773 (1225 W Belmont Ave). This event is PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN at the door. No reservations necessary.
