Scandalous Boy by David Atfield is showing at The Street Theatre from 14 November until 23 November.
‘In Ancient Rome, lust was not a sin.
It’s 130 AD and the body of a beautiful young man lies lifeless on the banks of the Nile. In his short life he became famous throughout the Roman Empire. In death he will become a god. But who was he?
Dismissed by Christian historians as a “shameless and scandalous boy”, this is the story of Antinous, lover of the Emperor Hadrian, and, in the 21st century, he has come back to reclaim his place in history. His story is a tale of political intrigue, of youth sought after and youth lost, of sex and lust, and of love. Written and directed by David Atfield, and featuring AFI-award winning Nicholas Eadie as Hadrian, ‘Scandalous Boy’ is sexy, funny, moving and unforgettable.
WARNING: Contains nudity, sexual & adult themes, coarse language. Recommended 18+.’
Opening night is on Friday 14th November and will be hosted by Mike & Martin from Hang-ups Picture Framing Gallery. Your ticket includes complimentary drinks and canapés from 6:45pm. Book today by calling 6247 1223 or online at www.thestreet.org.au .
