As I was figuring this out, this show came along," they explained. "I remember sitting down with Seamus Fahey ... and asking if that was a viable thing to pour into the vessel of someone a tiny bit anachronistic for the time period. He and the rest of performance have been so loving and generous with me on that front."
And though people like to rewrite history and pretend that the LGBTQ+ community didn't exist "back in the day," Findlay wants to squash that misunderstanding.
