Synopsis

An elderly gay moving out west rummages a nearby playground for a missing chunk of his brain. With the gate closing in two hours, he must convince the audience to watch his upcoming television show before he either loses too much blood or misses the plane. Whichever comes first. Performed by the author, WELL SPOKEN is a meditation on the black diaspora, the queer diaspora, and ancestry.

Notices
