3 Male 1 Female
1965. The counter culture is looking for an identity, the RCMP and
the Privy Office are looking for homosexuals, and a young family is
looking for their place in a rapidly changing world
1993. A generation separates a young man from the events that tore his family apart, but the past informs the present and time folds in on itself when the truth comes home to roost
Darkly funny, emotionally explosive, and based on historical fact, The Fruit Machine skillfully weaves the events of two very different times and two very different people into a story about family, political intrigue, love, hate, survival, being gay in the 60s and being a fag in the 90s
Strange times indeed ...
