Chasing Dick: A Love Story
VENUE
by dax carnay with aleks vujicic
Will you let yourself go? How far are you willing to go? Who are you willing to let go?
In a regional city, far from the CBD, a conservative accountant father and his good-looking bisexual son will soon find out they have been chasing the same thing: the love of Dick.
When Dick, a larger-than-life transwoman, moves into town, the already-strained relationship between father and son takes an even more dramatic turn. As they get to have more of Dick, they start to question everything they think they know about themselves, each other, and the world.
“You're in love with the idea of me. I am just some girl. I am not all that.” - Dick
Chasing Dick tackles significant themes such as the intergenerational gap in views on sexuality, gender identity, and expression, along with the universal search for connection and understanding within families. Through its heartfelt dialogue and poignant interactions, the play offers a profound commentary on the evolving nature of love and identity in contemporary society.
