About the Play
_edited.png)
When an eighteen year old boy undergoes an elective circumcision, he's confronted with his soon-to-be-excised body part in human form, demanding answers. What follows is an exploration of Australian queerness, wherein the boy is thrust back into his seminal sexuality-forming memories in order to provide an answer, so that he can wake up from this nightmare.Â
About the Author
Eddie writes, directs & acts and the Guinness World Records says he's the first gay man to do so (we live in a post-truth world). Eddie's from Australia and while the reality-star-to-president-pipeline was what initially drew him to the US., he stayed for the Universal health care. He comes from an acting background (sorry), and was on Broadway and in shows such as The Book of Mormon and Harmony and Wicked to name exactly three. When his body got sick of doing six-hundred performances of the same show, it started a war of attrition against his spirit. That's when Eddie turned to writing and directing and other things that allowed him to sit down. Short films he directed and wrote have been acquired by Prime Video, TINY, Dekko and Shorts.TV. He has screen projects set up with Aurora Pictures and Kilo Pictures (United Kingdom). As a playwright, Eddie most recently won the Australian Theatre Festival New Play Award for his play CIRC, about a dude getting an elective circumcision only to be faced with his foreskin in human form demanding answers. His other works include FRAU FANGUS’ REVENGE, JACK MORMONS and SCHOOLIES BUT WITH GAY STUFF.Â
