Synopsis

Being 17-years-old is awkward.

Being a gay, 17-year-old cosplayer with a mild Disney Princess obsession, a TV celebrity as a best friend and a first date with a guy you just met online takes awkward to the next level.

Alexei and his long-time internet crush, Thaddeus, are about to meet IRL (in real life) at the Supanova pop culture convention. In a moment of regrettable self-sabotage, Alexei assumes a false identity to test the authenticity of his would-be boyfriend. When Alexei’s best friend Taylor begins channelling the anti-capitalist vigilante superhero she plays on TV, the thin line between fantasy and reality wiggles wildly out of control.

At the end of a very strange, cosplay-filled day, will the trio find the connections they’re each craving?

Written by Lewis Treston, and directed by Eugene Lynch – this will be a night at the theatre you won’t want to miss!

Director Eugene Lynch; with Andrew Fraser, Leon Walshe, Bridget Haberecht, Dominic Lui
