Zero Patience

Description

Special Interests

Zero Patience Singing and dancing its way through a gloriously entertaining expose, ZERO PATIENCE, with cheeky defiance and stinging wit, explodes the myth surrounding AIDS and turns conventional thinking on its head. In this wildly imaginative musical fantasy, bursting with outrageous humour, Rocky Horror-esque camp and high-energy song-and-dance numbers, director John Greyson tackles head-on the politics of AIDS research, media sensationalism and the public s response to one of this century s least understood diseases. This raunchy romp about sex, science and scapegoats focuses on Patient Zero, the French Canadian flight attendant accused of bringing AIDS to North America. He sets the record straight with a little help from his friends, including a cheeky bathhouse chorus line and the flamboyant Miss HIV, pleading her innocence in a hilariously moving Barbra Streisand send-up, played in drag by the late singer/AIDS activist Michael Callen. A celebration of the humour and passion of the lovers, friends and family living with AIDS and those, dearly missed, who have died from it, ZERO PATIENCE is a testament to the human spirit under siege.
