ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this metatheatrical tragicomedy, an ensemble of queer and trans performers cast themselves in a thought experiment, imagining the future heir to the British throne as having a life resembling their own. Jordan Tannahill, one of Canada\u2019s most acclaimed playwrights, takes no prisoners in this ferociously audacious what-if, brimming with unbridled sexuality, wit, and imagination. A poppers-fuelled phantasmagoria interwoven with personal stories and ecstatic fantasies, Prince Faggot<\/em> reckons with how the forces of power, privilege, and colonization play upon queer lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it began as a book club, GAY WRITES<\/a> has grown into a larger queer cultural platform. It’s a home for queer stories and the people who obsess over them, challenging traditional ideas of literature and art by analyzing them through the lens of frivolous faggotry \u2014 because you can write about piss play and pop divas and simultaneously deconstruct the effects of colonialism on queer life ! We partner with eleven indie bookstores across Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax, and host a regular screening series in Montreal. In a time of political backlash and cultural instability, gathering as a community to think, argue, and laugh together feels more vital than ever. Gay Writes exists to amplify the voices of queer authors \/ artists, and to build the spaces where their work can be celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
