GULL
Written by Glace Chase
or, The Most Lamentable Comedie Called Love (hereto known as the Trans’ Revenge)
A staged reading.
“Queer, outrageous and hilarious… way ahead of its time.” – Glam Adelaide
1665. Plague-stricken London. With the theatres shut & lockdown looming a doomed actress and her boy-player dresser make one last ruthless decision: Live. They swap roles – and costumes – and break into an Earl’s house. Inside: a Censor, his Wife, a Libertine & a Pantomime Dame – all trapped til dawn. To survive, everyone one will have to act for their lives.
From the audacious mind of Glace Chase, Gull gleefully ransacks Shakespeare and Restoration comedy to claim the classics as our own – filthy, fast and fearless; formally dangerous, emotionally generous, and just plain fu*king funny.
Gull is a razor-sharp sex farce where gender, power and virtue are not what they seem – and nothing will be the same at sunrise.
