We All Died at The Lesbian Bar is an English language 45-minute surrealist dark comedy set entirely in Victor’s, a slightly worn, cozy neighbourhood gay bar where regulars know each other’s orders and the lighting always feels a little too flattering. For one night, you’re not just in the audience— you’re one of us. Simon, newly back in town, runs into his ex-boyfriend Charles—beautiful, articulate, and impossible to pin down—who’s now dating Max. What begins as a tense, awkward, funny three-way reunion turns strange: details don’t line up, a glass reappears where it shouldn’t, a line is repeated twice, the clock seems to jump forwards and backwards.
The play unfolds as a looped night out: scenes repeat with small variations, conversations “reset,” and the bar itself starts to contradict itself as Charles insists on his version of events being the ultimate truth. The Bartender watches (and sometimes seems to guide the rhythm), while Simon fights to keep his footing inside a story that keeps being rewritten. As the glitches escalate from subtle to undeniable, the comedy curdles into something apocalyptic—an intimate breakup drama that becomes, somehow, the end of the world.
