Theatre Clwyd goes GAY?

" This film is based on real events! " proclaim the written introductions of many "true life" movies, and Amnesia; the James Brighton enigma is no different. The story itself is fascinating-. In 1998, in the early morning hours after Montreal’s massive Black & Blue circuit party benders, a man awoke in an alley, in the buff, with no memory of who he was or where he came from. He knew only one thing: that he was gay. Eventually, after a long media campaign, family members from the southern U.S. would identify him accurately. Amnesia tells fictional events that could have led to this weird event, and it would have made a more interesting film under a different director and certainly with a more charismatic leading man. However, the film did have something interesting to say about how many gay men and women totally reinvent themselves when they come out , and how they create "urban families" where support and acceptance can be sought in safety away from often painful "pre-gay" lives.

The gay film festival was awash with gay locals................NOT!..... a few lipstick lesbians sat defiantly on the back row and as usual the grey hairs were dotted around in their sensible coats....humm very off the wall!
