Bash’d

The award-winning gay rap opera Bash’d, created and performed by Chris Craddock and Nathan Cuckow, features music by Aaron Macri and is directed by Ron Jenkins.

Bash’d chronicles the tale of Jack and Dillon; two star-crossed lovers who must cope with the reality of hatred when one is brutally beaten. It is told entirely through rap, spoken word and poetry, turning the often-homophobic musical genre on its ear. Even though the topic is serious, the musical is high energy, irreverent, and provocative.
