Actor Simon Burke delivers an extraordinary performance in "The Elocution of Benjamin Franklin," a 1976 Australian queer classic about an elocution teacher facing persecution, now revived at Sydney's Belvoir St theatre through March 29. The play, originally a sensation for its nudity and exploration of gender expression, remains timely amid current global attacks on LGBTQ+ rights.
