The Last Sunday in June – The Australian Premiere of a lost cult classic

The Last Sunday in June – The Australian Premiere of a lost cult classic.

Jonathan Tolins’ controversial comedy drama has never seen the light of day in Australia – until now.

It’s Pride month in New York City — but upstairs, in a cosy apartment with the best parade views in town, things are about to get a whole lot more complicated.

What begins as a casual get-together between friends quickly unravels into an unflinching exploration of love, identity, friendship, and the compromises we make along the way.

 

 

It’s funny, flirty, devastating and just a little too real, eventually asking the big question: “What does pride really mean when the parade ends?”

Directed by Cal Robinson-Taylor (Holding the Man, Torch Song), this razor-sharp, queer cult classic serves up hilarious one-liners, whip-smart banter and heart-punch honesty in equal measure. Part sitcom, part soul-search — it’s the night in with friends you’ll never forget.

Think Will & Grace… with sharper claws.

Producer Richard Gruppetta:

Tolins’ play is wickedly funny, uncomfortably honest and full of heart in a way that speaks directly to queer lives — and anyone who’s ever struggled with love and authenticity.
