About this event
Don’t talk to strangers or you might fall in love... with a Trump-supporter?! This Japan-set love affair questions the politics of pleasure and ethics of loving someone with misaligning values.

Based on a true story.

Laura Goodlet directs Fletcher Scully in a poignantly conflicted solo performance, where he meets [Redacted] in the rainy streets of Tokyo and eagerly enters into a sexually explicit holiday romance. Once he finds out [Redacted]’s political affiliation, he must decide whether to follow his head or ask himself if he can stop the heart.

Which is stronger: the brain or the body? Are people really all good or all bad? Can he sacrifice his morals for the one he loves?

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