Thami Mbikwan, a black teenager from the impoverished shanty village on the outskirts of town thinks not. A brilliant student and prized pupil, Thami as a young boy dreamed of using the education he loves to become a doctor (joking how he would treat his people for free, while charging whites for his care). Now the impending revolution has him revising his place in world-shattering events.
When we first meet our narrator, Arnold, he is getting ready to go onstage. Fretting about his costume, mussing with his hair, reapplying his eyelash -- oh, did I mention he's a drag queen? Arnold makes his living suited up in satin fineries and wailing dear old torch songs -- those weepy ballads "to be miserable by." As he prepares, he speaks directly to the audience, recounting his difficulties in finding and maintaining that most slippery of possessions: love. On a stage in the background stands an elegant woman, Julie Slim, who sings the old classics in her smoky alto, providing the moody soundtrack to Arnold's sad, but often hilarious, tales. It is a strong opening scene, the two playing off each other emotionally and also comically. Director Kevin Remington sets up this kind of dynamic staging as we pass through each of the three pivotal phases in six years of Arnold's life: the affair with reluctant homosexual Ed; life with pretty boy Alan; and the dilemma about David, the young, gay delinquent Arnold adopts.
