THE PREP PLAY, OR BLUE PARACHUTE
(3m, 1f)
Erik is everything the new generation of American queers are like – he’s on PrEP, he’s polyamorous, he’s politically-fluent, free-spirited, and uninhibited. Erik is nothing the new generation of American queers are like - because he’s not an American. When he suddenly finds himself thrown back to the 80s in his dreams as a side effect of PrEP, the only one that can help him is a shape-shifting Agent 701, who's the metaphorical manifestation of PrEP, the HIV prevention meds. What can you do when you are given a chance to change history? And how can you do it when you know nothing about it?
