A profoundly moving
performance that
explores the boundaries
of grief and loss,
life and death...
as it moves toward its
paradoxically life-affirming climax.

A true story of love persevering in the face of calamity

In 1986, Paul Monette lost Roger Horwitz, his partner of 12 years, to AIDS. In the five months that followed, Monette wrote an exquisite cycle of poems that traces an epic journey from grief back to the land of living, full of rage, humor, and a love that transcends death.

Actor Jonah Scott Mendelsohn brings this story to the stage in a solo show that gives voice to a lost generation of gay men recalling the courage with which they faced the epidemic and injustice of their time, as we rise to face the injustice of our own.

                             …twelve years and not once
to fret WHO WILL EVER LOVE ME that was
the heaven at the back of time and we had it


                             ….Death crackles in every
room yet He cannot seem to tell who’s who
as you used to say in your cranked-up bed
playful astonished


                             But we’re the same person
when did that happen
