HOMILY is a GOD HATES FAGS sign on fire. It’s a bible covered in red glitter. It’s sneaking one too many sips of the communion wine and exploring a dark fantasy of a life that could have been. Enter Lady Diana as THE PREACHER, a repressed, confused creature of the dark who goes on an emotionally intensive journey of self-discovery, reflecting el’s own path to acceptance. It deals with how religion interacts with the psyche of a young person, and the different ways in which internalised homophobia and religious conditioning impact the queer identity. It is a work that seeks to create space to relate and celebrate. It is deeply joyful and deeply painful. And absolutely, unapologetically queer. Expect cheap red wine, unadulterated camp and a coming-out-story of biblical proportions.
