Peter is a magic realist tragedy about the way gay men grieve. Henry is a lonely accountant living in Queens who has devoted his entire basement to the construction of an elaborate and intricate miniature model world, whose citizens include figurines of the most important loved ones from his life. He spends most of his free time caring for his elderly neighbor, Angie, whose recent medical diagnosis gives her months left to live. When a button appears on Henry’s workbench giving him the chance to revisit the past by descending into the model world he’s created, Henry’s emotional stability is thrown off balance as he reunites with his deceased ex-boyfriend, Peter, while simultaneously beginning a new relationship in the real world with a new man, also named Peter. Peter is about a man caught between two Peters and two worlds, and how a community of gay men who have dealt with so much loss over many generations still don’t quite know how to take care of each other.
