Gay/AIDS-themed play at Eaton Gallery
Written by ACHR Staff on September 8, 2010Our David, a comedy/drama that makes a unique and cutting-edge case for equality, will be performed on Wednesday, Sept. 15 at the Eaton Gallery, 411 N. Center Street in downtown Bloomington.
Velma and Clyde are uneasy neighbors. Velma, a widowed grandmother, has tended her vegetables in a humid North Florida community for most of her life. Clyde, a gay man out of place, has recently moved in from New York City after losing his lover and most of his friends to AIDS. The two widows express their growing distrust of one another in a series of alternating monologues, at times tragic and hilarious, until a tacky statue of Michelangelo’s David unpredictably brings them together.
