Presented by Fletcher Scully

Don’t talk to strangers or you might fall in love... with a Trump supporter?!

Based on a true story, this Japan-set love affair questions the politics of pleasure and ethics of loving someone with misaligning values.

Laura Goodlet directs Fletcher Scully in a poignantly conflicted solo performance, where he eagerly enters into a sexually explicit holiday romance in the rainy streets of Tokyo. Once he learns more about his lover’s political affiliation, he must decide whether to follow his head or his heart.

Which is stronger: the brain or the body?

Expect raves, sex and a few tears in this award-winning one-man show.

This work was supported by the Australian Theatre for Young People's (ATYP) Peer 2 Pier program with free development space.
