Director Ben Wolfe and his talented cast and crew have created the perfect work for this moment, a celebration of the outsiders, the weirdos, those thought too sensitive, too loud, who take up too much space, who try to walk a path all their own. It's the perfect piece to celebrate this Pride Month, raising up queer voices and showing how our softness can also be our strength.
‘Unbury Your Gays’ is a poignant, all-too-relevant look at queer longing (with a fantasy twist)
Unbury Your Gays is both a joy and a heartbreak to watch. It captures the sense of awkward, freewheeling whimsy of teen-hood, while also exploring the specific loneliness of queer desire. The honesty and nuance of these performances are really something to behold, all held up by a script and production team that make numerous smart choices to create a breathtaking world. It's the perfect way to greet this year's Pride Month, and a fine feather in the cap of one of Austin's most promising up-and-coming companies.
