Run by Stephen Laughton - Gasworks

"It’s artful, honest and deeply romantic, whilst still being devastating" - Exeunt Magazine

Gavin Roach presents the Australian Premiere of Run by Stephen Laughton.

Yonni is a seventeen-year-old gay Jewish kid. His devoutly religious family is preparing for the weekly shabbat, but he can think only about his schoolmate, Adam, with whom he is infatuated.

As the evening’s events unfold - some of them real, some of them imagined - a deeply personal story about first love and infatuation expands to interrogate the difficult intersection of religion and queerness.

Encompassing a world beyond space and time, Stephen Laughton's Run explores what it means to love, to lose, to rebel and how to grieve.
