This touching short defiantly skewers the “bury your gays” trope with a tender heart. There is an anger and frustrated grief woven throughout Alex and Percival’s conversation, but Tirado-Ortiz beautifully allows the characters a victorious way through it that fills your soul with warmth. Funny, sexy, and thought-provoking, this play is a breath of fresh air (aside from the smell of Alex’s corpse).
