The sexy razor sharp comedy about being gay, in love and online.

On the eve of Gay Pride, Jamie and Nigel celebrate their 10 year relationship by logging onto Gaydar and inviting Mark, a drop dead gorgeous 17 year old over for a threesome. What happens over the next 24 hours changes the rules... and their lives, forever.

“The brightest gay play for ages. Daniel Finn plays this frighteningly mature but deadly teenager with remarkable assurance. Stuart Laing is spot on in the difficult role of Nigel, fully conveying the unattractive emotional restlessness that pushes the domestic arrangements to the limit; and those arrangements are touchingly maintained by Paul Keating in a brilliant performance of prissy delight and exasperation. Keating is wonderfully funny but finally heart-breaking in this genuine surprise package.” Whatsonstage.com


“The pleasure of this production, deftly directed by Pete Nettell, is the range of its accomplishment. The first act is a dashingly witty comedy of manners and the second act ascends into an agonising and beautifully detailed portrait of a relationship foundering on the rocks of manipulation and deceit” The Spectator
