Details
Set in a shadowy and sinister political landscape with obvious parallels to Orwell's 1984, A Public Kind of Privacy reveals and explores the nature of institutional prejudice against gay lesbian relationships. The mainspring for this drama is the meteoric rise of a young female politician to high office. Her promotion, however, requires her to suppress and deny her sexuality. From the outset she grapples with the all-pervasive male influence of 'Himself', an unseen political leader and puppet master who seeks to control everything within his crumbling administration including the private lives of his ministers.
