Martin Yesterday
Synopsis
This play has caused quite a stir wherever it's run, which was exactly my intent. Matt, a thirty-something comic book artist begins a relationship with a well-known gay politician, Martin Yesterday. Matt finds himself disillusioned with both Martin and the gay community in general when he discovers not everything is what it appears to be, and that self-hatred and disease are two obstacles even love can't overcome. The original production at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, North America's largest gay theatre, is one of my faves. Filled with video, graphic and convincing sex (Including a stunning money shot), it was a much different play than the second production at the Royal Exchange, which is printed here.
