SUMMARY:Criminal Queerness Festival: Tomorrow Never Came (Talkback)
DESCRIPTION:Criminal Queerness Festival is a signature National Queer Theater program that supports the development and production of new plays by international and immigrant theater-makers and playwrights experiencing censorship or criminalization in their countries of origin. This is a co-production between National Queer Theater and HERE and presented at HERE’s Mainstage Theater. \nTOMORROW NEVER CAME \nWritten by Jedidiah Mugarura \nDirected by Ogemdi Ude \nSet in 1987 Uganda\, Tomorrow Never Came follows Lawrence Muhumuza\, a war hero struggling with the personal cost of the liberation he fought for. Torn between duty\, desire\, and the life he is expected to lead\, Lawrence is caught in a web of political tension\, secrecy\, and forbidden love. As he prepares to leave his wife\, Rhoda\, for his lover\, Sam\, the weight of his choices collides with a nation still healing from war and betrayal. In a world where survival often means silence\, Lawrence must confront the impossible question—can one truly be free if they are forced to live a lie? Through a gripping and emotionally charged narrative\, Tomorrow Never Came explores themes of love\, power\, and the sacrifices made in the name of liberation. \nContent warnings: References to war and its violence \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Playwright:  \n\nJedidiah Mugarura is a storyteller descended from the people of Nkore. Their storytelling seeks to find and reimagine the missing vowels to the songs we once sang before colonial violence\, to project a future of agency and possibility for those still negotiating their bodies in empire. \nSchedule: \n\n\nWednesday\, June 11: Tomorrow Never Came – 7:00pm \nTuesday\, June 17: Tomorrow Never Came – 7:00pm (Talkback moderated by Sofi Carol Wanyezne featuring Achiro P. Olwoch and Jedidiah Mugarura) \nThursday\, June 19: Tomorrow Never Came – 7:00pm (Juneteenth/Black Theater Night) \nSaturday\, June 21: Tomorrow Never Came – 2:00pm \nSunday\, June 22: Tomorrow Never Came – 7:00pm
