Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, an all-American High School girl who everyone suspects of being a lesbian - everyone, that is, except herself. Bundled off by her parents to be ‘cured’ of her homosexuality at a bizarre Christian camp, Megan falls in with a bunch of other queer kids, among them the androgynous ‘Graham’ – actually a girl played by the super sexy and talented Clea DuVall (Heroes). 8.30pm - FACT, 88 WOOD STREET, LIVERPOOL - location map Tue 5 August - Merseyside Animal Rights meeting We are the campaigning body for animal rights in Liverpool.
