A celebration of lives lost to AIDS told in free-verse monologues with a blues, jazz and rock score. Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens tells the tale from the point of view of some 30 individuals who died as a result of contracting AIDS, from the regular Joe who dropped into a brothel, to a granny who was given an infected blood transfusion.
A surprise delight.
Paul Harper-Swan’s production is well-crafted and heartfelt; and it’s bound to mean a great deal to everyone whose life has been touched by by what was – and for many still is – a cruel, life-threatening and life-changing disease.
