Being Visible: Interview with Ray Chong Nee

Society & Culture

Sonja The Squeamer chats to actor Ray Chong Nee about his role in the groundbreaking, paradigm moving play now on at Theater Works in Melbourne : The Motion of Light in Water.  This is not an ordinary play, it is the first of it’s kind and an Aussie production too, it is about Samuel R ‘Chip’ Delany the Queer sci-fi writer who broke molds himself, being one of the few African American science fiction writers and being a gay married man in a polyamorous relationship with woman and poet Marilyn Hacker . The 1960’s would never be the same, and neither would the writing of science fiction!
