Queer Romantic Drama “Next Fall” Is Fantastic Z’s Latest Production

It’s a play that might be familiar to some Seattle theatergoers…NEXT FALL is the 2010 romantic/religious/queer drama about a gay male couple who have to deal with a major crisis in their lives and their relationship. One partner, Luke, is very religious and the other, Adam is not, to the point of considering himself an atheist.  When a tragedy happens, Adam has to deal with Luke’s very devout family and his own doubts about faith and organized religion. Arts West staged this play a few years ago (with not much success) and now it returns (hopefully in a stronger production) in the hands of Seattle’s LGBTQ theater company Fantastic Z. It debuts this weekend (Sept 29th) for a three weekend run at the Ballard Underground, 2220 NW Market Street.

NEXT FALL

Geoffrey Nauffts’ Next Fall takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to.
