It has been a source of much heartbreak for me that the Dublin Gay Theatre Festival has gone down the self-destructive road of a split. It means that this May there will be two rival theatre festivals, both with astonishingly similar names - the Absolut Dublin Gay Theatre Festival and the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival - both competing for the same audience and both being nasty and bitchy to one another.
I have had some wonderful times volunteering for the Gay Theatre Festival (the original, before the split) and it is upsetting for me to think that something that was once so wonderful, has now become a negative force within our city.
On the upside however, some smartarse on Facebook has set up the Gay Peoples' Theatre Front as a pisstake on the whole situation. I think it's bang on and feckin' hilarious!
