“You don’t have this eternal future hanging over you and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t judge me for believing in something!” Through a catalogue of irreverent songs spanning everything from classical to disco to electro-pop Miss Gyrus recounts living through all of history to the present day. Meanwhile Evangelical Christian Josh struggles to reconcile his fundamentalist beliefs and his sexuality – navigating Bible school, Tinder and parental pressure as he tries to assemble his own world view.
Miss Gyrus is the evocative debut play from Joe Steele – an intricate tapestry of religion, queerness and self-acceptance.
