A sex worker and a drug dealer form an unusual partnership. A young man, new in town, wanders its dangerous streets, searching for his date. A couple hook up in bar and take a tense cab ride across 1980s New York. A young couple invite a stranger to their apartment and then their bed. These are hard-hitting, uncompromising stories, dealing with themes of violence, sexual exploitation, racism, and desire.

Greenwich Village on a hot summer night in 1985. A young man, new to the city, leaves a gay bar with a flamboyant performance artist, but his animated story of Antigone is soon rudely interrupted, and what starts as a hot date soon uncovers deeper layers of race, class, history, and disease. The Hunter is adapted from the 2001 novel In the City of Shy Hunters by Tom Spanbauer.


Greenwich Village ar noson boeth o haf ym 1985. Mae dyn ifanc, sy’n newydd i’r ddinas, yn gadael bar hoyw gydag artist perfformio blodeuog, ond buan iawn mae ei stori animeiddiedig o Antigone yn cael ei thorri ar ei thraws yn anghwrtais, ac mae’r hyn sy’n dechrau fel dêt tanbaid yn gyflym yn ddadorchuddio haenau o hil, dosbarth, hanes, ac afiechyd. Addaswyd The Hunter o nofel 2001 In the City of Shy Hunters gan Tom Spanbauer.
