2026, return to Tower City...
Art by Isabelle H (aka @dippity)
What if there was a "cure" for being gay? Or, even better, a cure for homophobia!
In the 2010s, the playwright wrote a series of short stories about a dystopian future where a "cure" for homosexuality had been developed, which put the LGBTQIA+ community first and satirised the debate against legalising gay marriage.
In this feel-good queer comedy - fully updated to reflect some of the new challenges the queer community faces and full of satirical humour - we follow a small community divided by "The Qure" as they protest, argue, forgive, fall in love, accept themselves, and ultimately realise that there is nothing unnatural about being queer.
What is unnatural are things like conversion camps, or hating entire demographics of people for irrational reasons.
It's good to be gay.
