Be Gay, For God’s Sake is a sharp, time-bending queer new-writing drama told with a dose of satirical mischief. When a Christian mother fails to accept her daughter’s gay relationship, divine intervention digs up her forgotten queer past in a small town, Inner Mongolia. Inspired by real events.
This is a fast-paced journey through family, faith, and words that never got said—where queerness rubs up against culture, shame, and generational silence. Told with cheekiness, a bit of God, and a lot of tenderness, this play will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
When God delivers a seminar on how to deal with Earthly Matters, expect chaos, budding romance, and dodgy miracles. Funny, moving, and painfully human. Bring your family along—if you want to change their perspectives.
