Presented as part of Men at Work at Theatre Works: a Midsumma Premier Event.
No One Comes Out Alone.

In his internationally acclaimed one-man show New York Jewish writer/performer Jeffrey Solomon plays both a son and the mother who struggles to accept his sexual orientation, tracing her transformation from shell-shocked parent to the mom at the front of the Pride Parade. Time Out London picked Mother/SON as critic's choice and raved: 'Profound, witty...Disarmingly Funny and Deeply Moving...a tour de force!'
Winner: Best Performer Leading Role, 2010 Absolut Gay Theatre Festival Dublin
Winner: Best Solo Playwright and Best Male Solo Performance, National Gay Theatre Festival (U.S.)
Gaydar Nation: '***** An amazing, riveting and moving performance. I've been raving about this show all week to anyone that will listen'
Broadway Baby: '*****A wonderful, heart-warming, moving play - a tour-de-force of skilful writing and performance. Tears are guaranteed, as is laughter. What's more, there is the potential for you to be moved with the experience affecting your life beyond the play. This is one of the rare plays which has the power to stay in the hearts and imaginations of all who have seen it.'
Scotsgay: '***** Brilliant comedy & a wonderful tribute to anyone who ever had to come out, and the family members who accepted them. I dare you to watch it and leave with dry eyes!'
Gay Chicago: '***** Funny, poignant and appealing - a must-see!'
Yorkshire Evening Post: 'Funny, moving and at times simply breathtaking. Solomon richly deserved his standing ovation and brings out the fundamental nature of the mother's life with humour and deep understanding.' |
