Bright Colors and Bold Patterns

Directed by David Horn

Josh and Brennan are about to get married in Palm Springs on a lovely Saturday afternoon. However, the night before becomes a drunken, drug-fueled riot, because their friend Gerry has arrived, furious that their invitation says "Please refrain from wearing bright colors or bold patterns". In the struggle for equality, what do we really want? What do we lose?
Bright Colors and Bold Patterns is a hilariously sharp filmed performance of Drew Droege’s one-man stage show about a gay man unravelling during a wedding weekend. Droege’s timing is superb, and beneath the rapid-fire comedy lies a perceptive portrait of insecurity, ageing and resentment.
