I'm Not Gay!
 |  |  |  |  |  |
Below is a video excerpt from my play "I'm Not Gay!", as produced in Iceland in 2005, under the translated
title "Eg Er Ekki Hommi!" (trans. by Thordis Elva Thorvaldsdottir). The video is from the first scene only,
though the play continues on for another hour and twenty minutes. "I'm Not Gay!" has been produced
successfully on several occasions as a 10-minute play, AND as a full-length production. For a copy of the
10-minute version or the full-length version, please contact me at Daniel Guyton. Thank you, and enjoy the
show! :O)

What critics have said:
"A brilliant play about all the hypocrisy about homosexualism (sic) and people either loved it
or hated it... just as it should be." (Gudmundur Ingi Thorvaldsson, Theatre Loftkastalinn)
"Artistically flawed... morally repugnant... I'm Not Gay! [belongs in] a category of its own - the
theatre of the obnoxious." (Grant Tyler Peterson, offoffonline.com, 2005)
"I'm Not Gay! is a competent play in which prejudices collide like go-kart cars and bounce off
the walls with laughter... I don't know if I'm Not Gay! will serve to lessen or increase
prejudice towards homosexuals, but one thing is for sure - people in the audience were
choking with laughter... The characterisation was unusually good and it is rare to find such a
great cast, in which each and every actor was absolutely brilliant. The language in the show
is foul, but it serves the point. The tolerance of the prudes who see this show will be put to the
test, because the language is basically a dictionary of the anus." (Dagblaðið, 2005)
