Mixing history, comedy, and poignant reflection in equal measure, A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION, Jonathan Wilson’s deeply personal solo show, excavates the lives, loves, and landmarks of his queer youth on the streets of Toronto.

Deftly inhabiting a cavalcade of characters, Wilson leads us on a wry and intimate exploration of the Village he once knew, the legacy it created, and the future being forged by a new generation.

The Second City veteran and Dora Award-winning actor Jonathan Wilson (The Lion King, The Normal Heart, Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay) presents a bracing companion piece to his Dora-nominated, playwriting debut, My Own Private Oshawa. Director Mark McGrinder is the Artistic Director of Studio 180 Theatre.


Wilson’s tightly-wound demeanour and deadon timing are especially remarkable.
