and Kate Fitzroy and Cooper Amai from 'the Cottage'

Cooper Amai and Kate Fitzroy from 'The Cottage' Kate Fitzroy and Cooper Amai won the Best Newcomer award at this year’s Fringe Festival for their stage play 'The Cottage' in which they took a "fresh and fabulous look at the stereotypes and misconceptions about queer culture in the capital". Kate and Cooper will reprise their very funny 'Cottage' roles and present a new comedy routine especially for Out Takes 2006 Opening Night!

Queens

Don’t miss this hilarious, touching and contemporary ensemble comedy that finds five headstrong mothers coping with the personal family conflicts surrounding the impending marriages of their gay sons. As these five very different women deal with their own desires, prejudices and history, they attempt to survive the weekend as sex, anger, bigotry and love hilariously clash in this ultimate wedding film about the strength of love and the importance of family. See Queens for more details.

... and Closing Night

Enjoy a celebratory drink to mark the end of the festival between the Sunday 11 June evening screenings of Night Watch and Saving Face.

Closing night is sponsored by GAP who will be providing complimentary nibbles!
