What if you could tell if your child was going to be gay? This Faye Dunaway melodrama has all the wrong answers

Welcome back to our queer film retrospective, “A Gay Old Time.” In this week’s column, with a new Faye Dunaway documentary premiering on HBO, we’re revisiting 1997’s The Twilight Of The Golds, a family melodrama co-starring Dunaway with some dubious politics.When looking back at your own life and decisions, it’s easy to get consumed by the What-Ifs: What if certain things turned differently? What if you could go back and do things over again—the right way? There’s so much potential in the infinite possibilities of these imaginary, alternate paths.Therefore, it’s no surprise that so much of storytelling revolves around answering these countless questions,—in fact, many genres thrive on it. For example, the entire idea behind science fiction is imagining distant (or not so distant) futures in which theoretical questions are a reality.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.However, there are some What-Ifs that perhaps shouldn’t be asked.

For those unfamiliar with The House of Bernarda Alba, it was written by queer Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca against the backdrop of the Spanish civil war. It is considered part of his ‘rural trilogy’, alongside Blood Wedding and Yerma, detailing small town life in Spain during the 1930s. This adaptation, by Alice Birch, arrives at the National Theatre with some fanfare, boasting a stellar cast and creative team. Rebecca Frecknall (who directs London’s current production of Cabaret, and also directed this year’s celebrated production of A Streetcar Named Desire) is at the helm; the cast is led by Harriet Walter (Succession, Ted Lasso).
