Mixing history, comedy, and poignant reflection in equal measure, A Public Display of Affection excavates the lives, loves, and landmarks of Jonathan Wilson’s life as a queer teenager in Toronto. Jonathan Wilson is the show’s playwright and performer, directed by Mark McGrinder (Four Minutes Twelve Seconds).
Deftly inhabiting a cavalcade of characters, Wilson leads us on a wry and intimate exploration of the Village he once knew, the legacy it created, and the future being forged by a new generation.
In the show, Wilson (The Lion King, The Normal Heart, Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay), a Second City veteran and Dora Award-winning actor has crafted a bracing companion piece to his Dora-nominated, playwriting debut, My Own Private Oshawa.
Crow's Theatre is at 345 Carlaw Ave, Toronto, ON M4M 2T1, Toronto, ON.
