THEATRE OUTING
by Richard Solash


Oscar Wilde holding a green carnation in his mouth is a fitting and ironic logo for the Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. The artificially dyed flowers were worn by fin-de-siècle gays as a secret sign of their sexual preference, and it isn't a stretch to imagine the playwright, perhaps Dublin's most famously “out” native son, depleting the symbol of all its subtlety with a saucy twirl in his teeth. Between the 5th and the 18th of May, the Irish capital lives up to that standard of openness on the stage. This year's event promises to be the best yet, with ten major city venues hosting 35 productions, each either written by a gay author, exploring gay themes, or of particular relevance to the GLBT community. Companies hailing from Italy to South Africa, Canada to Brazil, will appear alongside Irish troupes in a flurry of comedy, drama, musical theatre, and world premieres. It's enough to have made the Importance of Being Earnest author, shall we say, proud. www.gaytheatre.ie
