REVIEWS

★★★★

“Ben Anderson’s revival is mesmerising in its intensity, shifting subtly from full-on erotic fantasy to tentative friendship to intense loss in a series of 20 phone calls between two men."”

★★★★

“Powerful, extremely provocative and all set to a pulsating disco beat that adds to the magnificence and urgency of the play.”

– Boyz Magazine

★★★★

“Raw, ambitious theatre"

★★★★

“Truly a precious relic of a queer life gone by"

★★★★

“Wildly erotic and emotionally devastating in equal measure

“Unashamed coverage of what it means to be gay… blatant sexuality and unapologetic bare-all attitude"

★★★★

“Amazingly explicit and erotic but also deeply emotional, poetic and humane”
