Flit

Los Angeles, 1955: just minutes after a dramatic police raid on an illegal gay bar, Flit, a homosexual patron of the bar, nervously anticipates his trip down to the local police station, where he expects to be booked on charges of indecency. His arresting officer, however, seems to have other plans in mind, and as the two men warily circle round each other, they gradually reveal the full identities they keep hidden behind their public masks, until we eventually come to understand the profound truth that joins them together, cop and criminal alike.

Stefan Francis Kelleher is the author of eight other plays: “The Lawless Sun”, “Scrapers”, “Shayquan’s Picture”, “Returner,” “Empire Gas”, “A Creature Craving”, “Hamlet & the Pirates”, and “Sufferin’ Succotash!” His plays have been produced on stages in Manhattan and by regional theater companies elsewhere.
