Studio 58 brings new queer play Linck & Mülhahn to the stage, November 21 to December 1

Production by U.K.-based playwright Ruby Thomas explores gender and sexual identities in rigid 18th-century society

Studio 58, the professional theatre training program at snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ Langara College, presents the new queer play Linck & Mülhahn from November 21 to December 1 with showtimes at 2 pm and 7:30 pm.

When charismatic Anastasius Linck meets Catharina Mülhahn, it’s love—and lust—at first sight. As Catharina fights against her mother’s desire for a traditional marriage in favour of her independence, Anastasius works to conceal his identity to stay alive. Throughout the pair’s passionate exploration of gender and sexual identities, rigid 18th-century society aims to tear them apart.

Written by U.K.-based theatre artist Ruby Thomas and first performed at the Hampstead Theatre in London, Linck & Mülhahn is a historical, romantic, and subversive story that is sure to enamour audiences. The production is directed by Angelica Schwartz, who is originally from Treaty One Territory in Manitoba.

For tickets to Linck & Mülhahn and more information, head to Studio 58.
