Grin Theatre Bring Back Queertet For Third Year Running.

Queertet, The award-nominated festival of LGBT theatre is back and for the third time and is bigger, bolder and even more brazen!

Grin Theatre Company presents Queertet 2014, featuring four LGBT themed plays from three Liverpool writers and one from a playwright from New York. All four plays have LGBT themes, from a wedding night love triangle in Las Vegas to a world where women are not allowed to exist which is difficult for a lesbian couple!?

The plays that form this years Queertet are as follows:

A Party of Three written

by John Maines I Directed by Natalie Kennedy.

liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Eddie John Fortune. (2)

The heat in Liverpool, even at ten in the morning, has begun to drain people and what feels like the longest heat-wave since 1976 takes on the atmosphere in the city and it feels strangely quiet around the area of St. Luke’s as crowds flock to river to get some sea breeze and seek some sort of shelter against the summer sun. One man though who forever seems in good spirits and who can turn an overcast, thundery day into a ray of sunshine is Eddie John Fortune.

Love and jealousy, as intrinsically entwined together as almost any other human emotion; especially when the two lovers have a difference in age and one has a grown up son from a previous relationship and the other one has younger friends. All of this can lead to bitterness if not handled with sensitivity and care, on both parts.

Such is the premise of Chris Christou’s play for the Queertet Festival of plays at The Lantern Theatre, Linda and Sue.
