Fete

the long version

Eddie would have liked it better if her youngest son, Donny, had not been gay. At least he could have kept it a secret! So when Donny openly comes out at the only bar in town, her bar, Eddie goes on a rampage, making life miserable for everyone, turning the small resort village of Beech Grove and its annual Arts Festival upside down. That she is part-owner of the bar would have caused enough problems between mother and son, but her attempts to make Donny into a respectable gay young man—one who is courted properly and comes home from dates at a decent hour—only make things worse. FÊTE is a warm and amusing story of putting the pieces back together, of families learning to love each other. It is a story which will stay with you for a long time.
