💫✨ Meet the Ghosts of Our Queer Past ✨💫
Five acclaimed creatives are about to drag history out of the closet — literally. Think scandalous Gold Rush lovebirds, gender-bending Chinese spies, Melbourne dandies with sass, and Ancient Greek paramours. It’s camp, it’s queer, it’s gloriously theatrical. History never looked this fabulous.
