Reg, a former Marxist now facing a midlife unraveling, finds unexpected passion with Hunter, a seductive, chaotic millennial masseur. Rose, his estranged wife, collides with Lucinda, a gender-bending archivist unearthing buried queer histories. Meanwhile, Angela — an outrageous drag psychic — glides through scenes, offering absurd wisdom, cheap wine, and devastatingly accurate predictions.
Through dance breaks, flashbacks, psychic readings, awkward hook-ups, and emotional revelations, the characters stumble toward reinvention. Past and present bleed together, lovers tangle and untangle, and the world teeters on the edge of apocalypse—or just another year. By the final scene, identities have been cracked open, secrets spilled, and new queer families forged in the ruins. Everyone dances. The glitter sticks. And somehow, through it all, they survive—fabulous, fractured, and more themselves than ever.
1hr. No interval.
