An Army of Lovers

by R. Eric Thomas

Succession meets Audre Lorde.
An aging queer activist is invited to the sleek, enclosed campus of a global communications company to give a speech for their first Pride celebration. She does not come in peace. An Army of Lovers is a play about radical acts of existence, corporate culture as an oxymoron, and the freedom to be public.

    A cutting, dark, insightful take on corporate virtue signaling... On this futuristic Silicon Valley-esque campus, all must sanitize the bloody reality of past struggles to obtain health and security in the present. This world is so scary because it's so close at hand.

    A stunning, beautiful piece that moved me to tears. Each character in "An Army of Lovers" feels like true flesh and bone, while also serving a seamless function in the narrative. Their words come from their hearts. Thomas explores the nuance of these topics with such a masterful hand, leading the audience through a full-bodied, tragically hopeful narrative. Thank you for a fantastic read, and I hope to see this performed one day.
