Lavender Men

Directed by Lovell Holder

While working on a play about Abraham Lincoln, the show's lonely stage manager daydreams an elaborate fantasia about the 16th President's gay love affair.
Lavender Men is a rich, theatrical reimagining of Abraham Lincoln through the perspective of a queer contemporary performer who challenges the way history excludes people like them. Lovell Holder embraces the stage origins while using cinema to deepen a bold, imaginative interrogation of race, sexuality and historical myth.
