Show Description

A young Jehovah’s Witness comes to terms with his sexuality and finds his feet (and high heels…) in a world he once believed would be destroyed at Armageddon.

Birthmarked is a new concept gig written and performed by Brook Tate and his grand ol’ band of pals. With original music likened to Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell, and alongside a whale, a paintbrush and a pair of tap shoes, he hopes to shine a light on what it means to be marked…at birth.

Against a bubblegum pink background stands a young, white, bald man, visible from the chest upwards. He is wearing nothing on his top half. His head is held high and tilted to the left and he is smiling. He is half painted down to his collar bone with black and white facepaint as a fabulous zebra with a black and white mohawk and false lashes. The other half is bare apart from a brown birthmark above his eyebrow.
