From Press Release

As part of The Next Stage Theatre Festival, Ecce Homo Theatre presents Loving a Stranger or How to Recognize an Invert

Award winning company Ecce Homo Theatre (Of a Monstrous Child: a gaga musical, The Pastor Phelps Project) present an updated remount of Alistair Newton’s  Loving the Stranger or how to recognize an invert based on the incredible life story of Montreal’s Peter Flinsch: theatre designer, visual artist, and survivor of the Nazi persecution of homosexuals, arrested in 1942 for kissing a friend at a Christmas party. 

From the cabarets of 1920s Berlin, to the ongoing battle over gay marriage, all the way to the office of the Prime Minister; sexuality, spectacle and satire launch a musical blitzkrieg on apathy. With an ensemble of four performing over thirty characters and featuring Hume Baugh as Peter Flinsch.  ‘…a politically charged musical about the modern construction of the homosexual that’s ambitious in scope, well-researched, and aesthetically brilliant’. – NOW Magazine
