The Talking Party

by Bailey Williams

Synopsis

One night, after the opening of a successful tragedy for the stage, a group of queer people gather around a dinner table to talk, drink, and give speeches about love. As the evening continues, surprise guests arrive, people fall in love, and old grudges come to light. A contemporary perversion of Plato's Symposium and an investigation of queer love and its place within the Western canon.
