Just out of interest, am I the only person ever to have read "Mind that, 'tis my brother"?

Never met a single person that's heard of it.

*pouts*

so...it's a book full of gay and no one on the internet knows about it? I find that a little odd. Who is the writer?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Gaye Shortland. Which is vaguely amusing. *g*

[darketherdream.livejournal.com]

I will look it up. Yee!

Nny darling, do you ever find it odd than an inordinate amount of your posts are protestations that you aren't the only person who does/knows/thinks so-and-so, surely?

You're special. Accept it :D

Special. Hmm. I'll take that as a compliment. *g*

Here's what http://www.thehelix.ie/28_10_2002_brother.html says about the play based on Gaye Shortland's novel:

Mind that 'tis My Brother is a romp through the afterlife of Tony, "the only survivor of Aids unknown to modern medicine".

In this exuberant comedy, Gaye Shortland paints a painfully funny and surprisingly exotic portrait of Cork's gay underworld. Alienated, elated or just plain out of their skulls, the merry band of rent boys and reprobates that Liam gathers to mark Tony's passing wanders every highway and byway of the Beautiful City in a comic odyssey of which his extremely horny ghost in the moving spirit.

Puppets, automata, models and lighting magic transform the whole theatre into a box of hilarious, heart-breaking metaphysical tricks in this witty commentary on the marginalized and on the city, which marginalize them.

Cheers for the info! I'd had no idea it was a play at all. I just read it a long time ago, and everyone I knew denied all knowledge- even my sister, who'd got it out of the library. It was faintly disturbing, yet unsurprising, as she's exceedingly homophobic.
