THEOFFCENTER, a queer performance collective based in San Francisco, is pleased to present Killer Queen: The Story of Paco the Pink Pounder, starring Peter Griggs as a gay boxer, and told with live musical accompaniment of songs by Queen. Killer Queen is written and performed by Peter Griggs with direction from Wolfgang Lancelot Wachalovsky and choreography from Cason MacBride. Killer Queen is a coming-of-age story that follows the life of a fictional gay boxer, Paco the Pink Pounder, from his early boyhood conflicts with authority – represented by family, school, and church during the 1970s – through his coming out and later struggles as a minority within a minority group – as a gay person of color – during the 1980s. Throughout this period the British rock band Queen serves as a source of consolation and inspiration to the young Paco, who fashions himself as a kind of Freddie Mercury for the boxing ring.
