It's been a while, but finally a play about a black lesbian couple wanting to adopt a child is about to hit the stage. Estelle Chout's script for Po' Boys and Oysters was nominated for an Adam's NZ Playwriting Award in 2021 and the comedy's debut was originally scheduled a year ago. But Covid-19 meant the production had to be abandoned...twice. The show will go on later this week with Estelle, who was born in the French Caribbean country of Martinique, in one of the leading roles. She tells Lynn Freeman one of the inspirations of the play was that she simply wasn't seeing stories she could relate to - about Caribbean Kiwi queer life - on our screens or stage. .Po' Boys and Oysters written by and starring Estelle Chout will finally have its debut on the 27th of September at The Basement Theatre in Tamaki Makarau.
