Description Chronicalling the history of homosexual men in Darwin, the script offeres an insight into the rubbing edge between frontier men of diverse sexuality and the development of gay sensibility in one of Australia’s most multicultural cities. Originally developed through historical records and oral histories, we’ll look back on the script, the men, and the town it was staged in at this special retrospective, feature live script readings, clippings and photos from '93, and a conversation between contemporary Queer artist Cj Fraser-Bell and the writer, Dr Dino Hodge.
