Pillowtalk, produced by Kyoung's Pacific Beat, is an intimate two-character drama centered around Sam and Buck, a newlywed interracial gay couple. Using inventive staging incorporating elements of ballet’s pas de deux, the play looks at the evolving values of gay marriage through the shifting priorities of a young couple.

Performed by Daniel K. Isaac and Raja Feather Kelly.

A post-showing artist and audience dialogue will be joined by Katy Pyle, Artistic Director of Ballez. Read an interview with Katy by Kyoung on Culturebot.
