What kinds of stories do we tell about gay men and their sexuality on the screen, on stage and on the page? How has storytelling about male-on-male sexuality evolved over time? And what are some of the stories and characters that have been important to gay male writers in all forms of storytelling? We’re joined by novelist Christos Tsiolkas (Barracuda, The Slap), playwright Tommy Murphy (Holding the Man) and filmmaker Tony Ayres (Matchbox Pictures).

Hosted by Crusader Hillis.
