Playwright & Performer: Kev Berry
Director: Jackson Paul Walker

After the record-smashing success of last year's Rough Trade and his live-streamed solo show Harsh Cacophonies I & II, The Tank's Playwright-Squatting-in-Residence Kev Berry returns to his artistic home with an intimate new evening-length monologue. Directed by Jackson Paul Walker, We Had Not Ceased Desiring is a ramble through the history of cruising and public sex, a time-old tradition in the queer community. As he wrestles with what it means to participate in the pastime in the age of hookup apps, PrEP, and a creeping return of normalized anti-queer rhetoric in the zeitgeist, he tells the stories of how far we're willing to travel in order to connect. Performed in The Tank's Attic Studio for only 30 audience members a night, Berry's deeply personal return to lo-fi monologue theatre is sure to be...penetrating.

For Audiences 18+
