The Boys Are Kissing

A kiss, a commotion, helicopter-parenting chaos: Two boys kiss in the schoolyard—and the suburbs instantly descend into chaos. Amid panic, principles, and absurd debates about parenting, the parents desperately search for the right response. Both couples are certain they’re on the right side—until the other parents get involved.

As they lose themselves in their fears, two supernatural forces intervene—powerful, unpredictable, and with a penchant for drama: In the form of two angels, members of the highly venerable Heavenly Order of Queer Guardians, they point the way toward a more open future.

In his debut play, a fast-paced comedy that has already taken London by storm, British author Zak Zarafshan dissects the cracks in tolerance and the grotesque reflexes of an overwhelmed society—and spares no one in the process. A brilliantly funny evening of theater—wonderfully hysterical and damn true.
