Bottoming for Jesus

A show about holes... and the lengths we go to fill them. At fifteen, Michael R Speciàle converted himself to Mormonism – no missionaries required. A closeted gay teenager in the Pacific Northwest, he built an entire belief system to contain what he couldn't face. Surprise! It didn't work. Part stand-up, part cabaret, part sermon, part TED Talk, Speciàle transforms the theatre into a queer church of longing, doubt and spectacular failure through musical numbers, radical oversharing, whiteboard theology and of course, Judy Garland. 'An audacious but essential work of art' (WWeek.com). European Premiere.
