Family & Friends - BU New Play Initiative: DOWNTOWN

  • Starts: 7:30 am on Friday, October 20, 2017
By Kyle Chua (CFA’19) | Directed by Michael Hammond | Al’s debut novel, about his unrequited affections for a man named Ben, was shaped to provoke and sell. Almost instantly, it becomes a critically-acclaimed bestseller. But when Ben turns up at one of Al’s literary events bearing threats of a lawsuit, both men are forced to examine the reasons that brought them together, and the circumstances that pulled them apart. Alternating between past and present, Downtown is a puzzle of fact and fiction, an exploration of the intersections of race, nationality, and queerness. Downtown is a BU New Play Initiative production and part of the 21st annual Fall Fringe Festival. | Approximate running time: 90 minutes The BU Fall Fringe Festival, now in its 21st season, is a collaboration between the College of Fine Arts School of Music: Opera Institute and School of Theatre.
