Faygele is an unflinching and deeply personal exploration of queer identity, family, and the struggles of self-acceptance. Set against the backdrop of 1970s America, the play captures the raw emotions of a young man fighting to embrace his truth in a world that refuses to understand him. Faygele brings to life a forgotten chapter of queer resistance.
While Faygele explores heavy themes of oppression and defiance, it is also wickedly funny, tender, and filled with moments of joy. Despite the heavy subject matter, this show is a celebration of queer survival and pride, helmed by Will Nunziata as the director. Staged at the Marylebone Theatre, this production offers an intensely personal and immersive experience, drawing audiences into the world of a young man trying to find his place in a society that doesn’t accept him. Book your tickets now for a show that proves revolution starts with just one word.
