Beauty and the Beast
7 - 11 OCTOBER | THEATRE WORKS
by jake stewart
A queer, brutal, hypergay adaptation of the original original tale of a creatively hexed rich hunk
I think we can all agree that the early iterations of this tale dwelled too long on the experiences of sweet Belle and her romantic, father-centric pursuits. How about we finally acknowledge the hunkiness of Gaston? And this classic story's roots in the French origination of the beautiful 'Saw' Franchise? From the creative team behind 'Pride & Prejudicks', 'Pinocchio', 'David', 'Pornographillip', and 'The Helendale Nude Footy Calendar', comes another hot gay trainwreck.
