synopsis
can you remember how we got here? is a show about growing up—the kind of growing up that never stops. It’s about tennis courts, and Halloween, and a little red and yellow plastic car whose wheels rusted in the garden shed last winter.
It’s about bad sex and good love and bruises and wondering what words we would have for each other, if we weren’t here, in this place, at this time. It’s about imagining queer utopia and finding yourself halfway there.
