  • Tell Me Before The Sun Explodes: This event is about how you would spend your final 8 minutes with a loved one – saying farewell and revisiting memories before life, passion and sunshine, fade away entirely. This play is about cockroaches and black holes, cancer, a child who is only capable of cooking jelly and gay wedding dances that are ludicrously choreographed. It's a wake-up call to the life we experience with others and the life that happens outside of them. It's about death and gayness and how much the two terms have been used together.
