Rodger saw young people marching in a Destiny Church rally against same sex marriage and thought, “at least one of those kids will be gay and feeling quite wretched about himself.” The result is a series of (mostly) humorous monologues from a vast array of (mostly) queer characters in Auckland’s Pasifika community.

From a camp, closeted member of Destiny Church who finds himself on the march against the Civil Union Bill, to a staunch queer man who is loud and unapologetically proud; from a Samoan clean freak who’s annoyed that his partner has just soiled their brand-new bedspread, to an award-winning fa’afafine artist who relishes explaining the true meaning behind her new work ‘Cracker Wanna Poly’.

With cracking comic timing, this play is funny and filthy, raw and emotional and full of love. Black Faggot took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm, and has enjoyed sold-out seasons in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.

$2.50 per hour to a max of $12.50 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
