Kingdom presented by Broken Nose Theatre at Online Stream

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...In the shadow of Disney's Magic Kingdom, "the happiest place on earth", we have a family that is not so happy but is most definitely gay. "Kingdom", written by Michael Allen Harris and directed by Manny Buckley, is a drama of African American interest that takes place in 2015 in the city of Orlando at a time when same-sex marriage first became legal in Florida. Originally produced for the stage in 2018 by the Broken Nose Theatre Company, the show has now been adapted into a 90-minute audio drama."

Third Coast Review - Recommended

"...Kingdom is an entirely LGBTQ African American story, sensitively told, and illustrates through the characters' varied life experiences how Black gay culture is different from White gay culture. The lyrical script keeps the symbolism of the Magic Kingdom as a meaningful background theme, until the very end. Another recurring theme is Arthur telling Alex and Malik that they need to read Batman comics, because "if you read close, you'll find a narrative a gay man can understand.""
