For the first time, the untold stories of our brothers, fathers and sons come out of the shadows into the bright light of downstage centre. Based on Chris Brickell's Montana award-winning Mates and Lovers, a History of Gay New Zealand, the audience time travels from pre-colonial Aotearoa/New Zealand to the 21st century with two exceptional performers (Simon K Leary and Paora Taurima) as their guides.
Alone on stage aided only by two antique chairs, the actors flush out the flesh and bones of over 50 characters as different as chalk and cheese. Mates and Lovers is a perfect blend of humour and pathos.
