About the work
Love never dies, it just transforms.
Two men. They flirt. They dance. They fall in love.
House. Dog. Coffee machine. Joint bank accounts.
Work. Routine. Drift. Crisis.
Intimate, poetic and de-centering, Unconditional weaves a compelling tapestry of a queer relationship between a man who identifies as gay and a person whose identity evolves during their marriage… starting as “he”, but now transitioning to “she”, which destablises their union, their belief systems, and their politics.
What happens when someone decides to begin a gender transition without telling their partner? What does it mean when a “gold-star-gay” faces the reality that his spouse is a woman? Told as dueling monologues, parallel conversations with a couple’s therapist, Unconditional by Seán Dowling and Cameron Hurry unpicks the image we hold of ourselves and shows us the fraying edges of Australia’s Queer culture.
Co-written by Trans woman Seán Dowling and gay man Cameron Hurry, Unconditional is a response to the zeitgeist of queer politics. An intimate insight into the complexity of love. The simple realities that plague every relationship, every normal fight a couple has, alongside a genuine insight into the difficulties of transitioning later in life.
