San Francisco Queer Theater Presents

Missives

October 27 - November 26

Missives set - modelThe unlikely friendship formed between a white gay man and an African-American straight woman is put to the test by an unexpected act of violence. The rich language and imagery covers the gamut from flowers and jobs, to the characters’ love of soap operas and how people compose themselves into being who they want to be. And what is it about mistakes that we can’t forgive?
