Matt, a gay thirty-something cartoonist, is tired of the reckless nature that encompasses his younger partners. Martin Yesterday, an openly gay, middle-aged politician, seems to be the key to Matt's pursuite in finding "real" love; however, Martin is not always forthcoming about his private life and holds some very dark secrets. Originally commissioned for the BBC Radio, and broadcast on CBC Radio, Martin Yesterday was nominated for the Sony Award for Best Radio Drama in London, England. The stage play premiered in Edmonton after a very different version was produced in Toronto. Future productions of Martin Yesterday are slated for Montreal, Houston, and Manchester, England.

Martin Yesterday
I don't often read plays but after Lion in the Streets, I'm definitely going to be looking for some more.
I don't know how to describe this any other way than to say it was highly disturbing. The language is graphic and violent and there is nothing Thompson shies away from (including a man jacking off while forcing his fiance to relive a rape). It is these scenes - those that are unsettling and extreme but also horribly real - that makes me think Thompson writes like no other playwright. There is so much emotional depth, so much pain but also redemption, which really makes you reflect on the horrors of our society.
It is such an intense play that I recommend it with caution but it is the writing more than anything - the powerful, painful and poetic writing - that I believe no one should miss out on.
