(available from the 21st February 2006)

SYNOPSIS

A tremendous surprise, Dorian Blues is a witty, well-directed and acted comedy about a
gay teen from first-time director/writer Tennyson Bardwell and a cast of skilled, unknown

REVIEW

A delightful surprise for audiences, is Dorian Blues, a witty, knowing, and immensely
entertaining coming-of-age tale from writer-director Tennyson Bardwell. Dorian (Michael
McMillian) is a misfit teen living in a small upstate New York town with his conservative
father (Steven C. Fletcher), Stepford Wives-like mother (Mo Quigley) and football hero
brother (Lea Coco). Adolescence is proving a pain for the always-thinking Dorian. He’s an
outcast and the butt of classmates’ fag jokes at high school. He’s different and
understands why when he reaches the conclusion that he’s a “stereotypical gay.” He soon
announces this discovery to his boozing social worker, his less-than-understanding parish
priest, his brother and, against his brother's warnings, eventually his homophobic, Nixon-
loving dad. Before dad can throw him out of the house, he’s off to NYU where our hero
encounters a new world of cafes, sophisticates and handsome men, but this life proves
just as frustrating and treacherous as back home. From the hysterical dinner table political
discussions to the serious family moments and less-than-homo-heaven life in college, the
writing and acting is directly from the heart and rings true. Prepare to laugh out loud and
maybe even think a tad at this first-rate gay comedy.
