Synopsis:

What makes a play queer? Must it feature primarily queer characters? Does it necessarily centre on timeless queer narratives— coming out, oppression, political change? Or is it enough that the play, like all queers, tries to find a new way of seeing and being in the world— a play that builds theatrical worlds that resist orthodoxy, authority, and received binaries? Join visiting Writer in Residence Sean Dunnington in conversation with playwright Joel Tan as they pry open these questions, featuring readings from Sean's plays that reflect the shifting sensibilities and approaches to queerness in his work over the years.
