Queers in Tears? is a fast-paced two-hander by 2 Queers Home Page Ltd, performed at the Olive Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The 60-minute show runs for free and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Content warnings include distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.
Why see this show?
A free, warm-hearted play that uses the pressure-cooker setting of drama school to explore chosen family and the masks people wear to survive. Funny and tender in equal measure, it's a strong choice for anyone drawn to honest new writing about identity.
