A Buddies in Bad Times and Obsidian Theatre Company production written by Robert O'Hara and directed by Jay Northcott. Bootycandy is a meta-theatrical, semi-autobiographical dark comedy that follows a young man's experience of power, permissibility, and privilege from the childhood dinner table to the playwrights' circle to the dark disarray of a stranger's hotel room. The play fleshes out an intricate embodiment of Black queer life through durational comedy, parental hypocrisy, and formal absurdity. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award in 2015, this is the Canadian premiere.
