Rhomboid - a new queer Asian-Australian play by Eric Jiang

“I don’t want us to not have the words to describe what we are! And I don’t want what we are to just be ‘not’ something else. Because it’s its own thing.”

Xavier and Sebastian immediately connect in high school, starting a…complicated relationship which continues to evolve through their mid-20s as they grow up (and glow up!)

Across intimate virtual conversations and awkward real-life encounters (relatable!), years of missed connections and new partners, they gradually figure out what they mean to each other. And learn some sick dance moves.

From emerging Chinese/Australian writer and playwright Eric Jiang, Rhomboid is a hilarious and heartwarming new play about navigating friendship, relationships and love as a queer Asian-Australian.
