Review of Henry Gamble's Birthday Party

do straight guys really wank in bed together because that is the fucking definition of homoeroticism and i just dont know how to feel about this trope anymore?!?!? anyways. commercial-ready facades and double lives are endlessly entertaining to read/watch, especially when bundled with religion. here, individuals within a tight-knit christian community are unmasked over the course of the titular party. henry gamble shines when its characters are allowed to say a little something about their inner lives and it was this aspect that i found myself hoping for more of, instead i was regaled with arguments trodden out of bigots misfit toy bin. the simple prejudice that the characters parrot is tired, overused and unanimously downvoted for more nuanced bigotry, but perhaps im giving my fellow humans too much credit considering that im writing this in the year of our lady bey, 2018. it's just that it feels very been-there-done-that when it attempts to enter political spaces and thus becomes furiously aggravating whenever were forced to watch future alt-right redditors espouse fallacious logic while hiding under the paper thin protection of religious doctrine. these characters are cartoonish and do not represent their real world counterparts in a full enough capacity to be in any way affecting or even therapeutic. henry gamble isnt out here trying to change hearts and minds, so its a shame that so much of its runtime is taken up by these arguments, but in the least it certainly illustrates the world in which the masked characters must struggle within, making the resolution of its primary characters arcs feel lukewarm nice, if not pleasant, when they come to terms with an undeniable part of themselves that their religion (or rather, their religious community and their specific practice) has corrupted.
