Set in England in 1992, Patrick Wilde's play centers on Steven, a 16-year-old gay student who has a crush on the most popular guy at his school -- only to discover that his romantic feelings are actually reciprocated. Unfortunately, the law known as Section 28 is still in force at the time, discouraging schools and local authorities from promoting or teaching homosexuality as an acceptable family lifestyle, leaving Steven struggling with coming out. Directed for Celebration by Michael Matthews, What's Wrong With Angry? was adapted into a well-received 1998 film drama, titled Get Real.

This is a great story about how homophobia shapes the life of young teenagers. It tells the story that many of us experienced. I like very much both the movie version "GET REAL (1998)" and this theatre play version "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ANGRY." Highly recommend them!!!

What great theater once again from Celebration, thank you. I am recommending as a must see to all my friends. And I do remember those feelings of being alone, the first encounters, and then the explosion of self-acceptance that coming out to myself brought. The British accents are candy to the ear; the "boy", Daniel Taylor, is well cast and strong, and the best girl-friend, Kelly Schumann, is an absolute delight.

Description

Written at a time in British history when the age of consent for homosexuals was five years older than for heterosexuals, legislation called Section 28 prohibited schools and local authorities from depicting homosexual relationships as an acceptable view of family life. While school was the setting for romance with Mr. Popular, John Westhead, Steven spent his life at home telling his parents what they wanted to hear. When fortune takes an unexpected turn, Steven discovers his feelings towards John are reciprocated. In order to discover "it gets better," sometimes you gotta get angry!
