| On February 12, 2008 a fifteen-year-old boy in California was shot after asking another boy to be his Valentine. This murder has been subsuently described as "the most prominent gay-bias crime since the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard". |
|
| A simple gesture. A boy in department store heels. An act of hate. |
|
| Playwright Dave Deveau (Nelly Boy, SummerWorks 2007) goes on a haunting and heartfelt journey as he investigates his own connection to young Lawrence King. As this headline story currently goes to trial, My Funny Valentine invites the audience to search for our own humanity amid the confusion and chaos of the implications of King's death, and through this haze, find heart. |
