Two original plays. Two different cultures. Two LGBT stories.

UTS Backstage are thrilled to bring to you TWO, a double bill production featuring two original plays; THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK by Elaine Laforteza and CLAUDE AND CLAUDIA by Laura Bailey.

THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK By Elaine Laforteza

In THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK, witness the struggles and triumphs faced by people of colour in terms of an intersectional nexus of race, sexuality, gender and faith. It’s a comedy with heart and distinctly Filipino-Australian flavour.
