| Summary | The story of a lonely, self-obsessed, selfish, deluded, impotent 62-year-old gay man named Sky Gilbert who - despite his best intentions - cannot help but become a stereotype. Sky's main claim to fame is founding Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in 1979. But since leaving Buddies, Sky Gilbert is no longer even remotely famous. He fights off his bitterness as audiences for his plays steadily dwindle and theatre people dismiss his work as old news and point to the fact that he teaches at the University of Guelph as proof: his descent into academia clearly signals his failure as an artist. |
