Newcastle theatre stages queer dinosaur romance set at world's end
Lingua Franca's Adam Deusien performs in 'Triceratop', a gay romance about a dinosaur facing the asteroid strike.
Newcastle's New Annual festival showed a new work called 'Triceratop'. Adam Deusien wrote and performs in it.
He is the artistic director of theatre company Lingua Franca. The show reimagines the last days before an asteroid strike.
It follows a lonely dinosaur searching for his perfect triceratop while civilisation crumbles around him. The show mixes camp sci-fi storytelling, cabaret, and comedy with real emotion.
Deusien frames it as an LGBTQIA+ story about wanting connection during middle age in chaotic times. The production runs through October 4.
