Angry F*gs
Advertisement
An out lesbian state senator is up for re-election. Her female opponent is a moderate conservative who has aligned herself with right-wing extremists. They’re locked in a tight race in which each side caters to its base and any event can become instantaneously politicized.
When a gay man is bashed with a baseball bat and left to die, his ex-boyfriend, a campaign aide for the incumbent senator, is enraged. But his boss’s unwillingness to label it a hate crime tips him over the edge. Frustration and fear eventually turn to rage and he teams up with his best friend to embark on a vendetta of sabotage and more, reasoning that if gays aren’t respected enough to win justice, fear will achieve what good intentions and politics cannot.
"Angry F*gs" asks what do we do with our righteous anger? Who do we turn to when we exist within a system that does not protect us, care for us, or keep us safe?
"Angry F*gs" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
"Angry F*gs" takes place November 7-23, 2025, on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. at Lifeline Theatre, 6912 N Glenwood Ave, Chicago, IL, 60626. The show is part of Ghostlight’s 9th Season celebrating otherness and uplifting Queer characters and voices.
