Two monologues: I Miss the War by Matthew Baldwin and Oh! by David John Phillips.

1967. London, England. Sodomy decriminalized! Sort of.
Jack, aging tailor to the chorus boys of the West End, remembers the liberating terrors of the Blitz.

2022. Toronto, Canada. Kinky puppies frolic.
Matt, a service bottom with failing knees, remembers the liberating terrors of the Plague.

Recalling hankies and Polari, busbies and chaps, rent boys and faeries, tea rooms and back rooms, love and death, they each bring the past to the present and celebrate the future. Together, a hundred years of queer history in 55 minutes!

Colin Thomas, Fresh Sheet: ā€œIā€™m grateful to Phillips … for exploring queer themes… with depth, tenderness, [and] audacity.ā€
