FRANCIS GREY AND THE CASE OF HIS DEAD BOYFRIEND Comes to the New York City Fringe Festival

The production will be presented as part of the 2025 New York City Fringe Festival with FRIGID New York at wild project with performances on Sat April 5 at 10:20pm, Thu April 10 at 8:10pm, Sun April 13 at 5:20pm, Wed April 16 at 9:50pm & Sat April 19 at 3:40pm.

When Francis Grey’s boyfriend is murdered on the eve of his birthday, he opens up a not-so-official investigation and discovers more than he bargained for in this audaciously cheeky one-man whodunnit. Joined by a host of not-so-perfect and incredibly suspicious family members, everyone is a suspect. Just how far will Francis go to crack the case in his topsy-turvy quest for truth?
