Author: Tom Cole
A confessional narrative melding black humour with sincereinsight that speaks on class, queerness and addictionThrough a striking performative monologue, Chimes follows the distinctive voice of a first-person narrator recounting his experiences of shame, addiction and self-destructive behaviour with mischievous humour. Now, after months of monotonous solitude, a storm of unresolved issues resurfaces, and his escalating feelings of alienation and unworthiness lead to unconventional solutions.In the tradition of the plays of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Georg Büchner, Charles Ludlam and Sarah Kane, Cole weaves the very bleakest of humour with startling and heartbreaking feats of intimate self-reflection. Speaking on issues of class, sex, intimacy and the highs and lows of queer reality today, Chimes asks how and where one finds the answers to living a complicated life.Tom Cole is an American writer, performer and artist living in the Lower East Side and Kingston, NY. He is a three-time MacDowell Playwriting fellow.
