Myth of Andrew & Jo

The Artscape New Writing Programme, devoted to developing new South African plays, has been travelling its productions of new gay plays to the Absolut Gay Theatre Festival Dublin since 2006. In May 2010 Artscape toured Gideon van Eeden’s play, The Myth of Andrew and Jo. Andrew (an opera set designer) and Lawrence (a copywriter who moonlights as a drag queen) are lovers; Jo (a wildlife photographer) and Saartjie (a game ranger) are lovers. Jo and Andrew meet in a club. Suitably ‘intoxicated’, they go to Jo’s flat to come down … and then they wake up ‘the morning after’ and realise, ‘Yes, they’ve done it’! Are their respective lovers furious … or are they furious? The result of ‘having done it’ is a pregnancy, a child, and high comic chaos as four very sexy and delightful young gay people, whose last thought in life is ‘children’, take on their responsibilities with a combination of high camp and down-to-earth coping.
