THEATRE DOUBLE BILL - Tell Me Straight / Aggy

Park Theatre presents a double bill of two queer plays "Tell Me Straight" and "Aggy". You will need to buy your tickets in advance from the Park Theatre website - £32 for a combined ticket for both plays. I will be there from 1800 - the Park Theatre has a decent bar and pizza offering.

Tell Me Straight (first on the bill at 1900) - Following sold-out runs at The King’s Head and Chiswick Playhouse, Paul Bradshaw’s multi award-winning debut play is back!

Him’s long line of hookups have one thing in common; they’re all straight. Best friend Dani thinks he needs to fix up and finally find ‘a gay man who actually likes gay men!’ But straight guys are like buses…

A 30-day detox is just what he needs – no booze, no fast food and no men! Buuuuut will distractions in the form of wide-eyed Lee, fuck boy Ryan and oldest friend Matt prove to be derailing? Or will Him finally change his ways and see what is right in front of him?

Followed by Aggy at 2045 - Lawrence and Mahlik have been together for a year. It’s going pretty well on all accounts. So when Mahlik’s contract is up at his flat, it’s only logical that they move in together.

After a particularly tough rejection, Mahlik makes a risky suggestion for Lawrence’s next project, proposing that Lawrence present as an alter ego to secure more opportunities. As success starts to roll in, this fabricated persona leaves the couple facing uncomfortable truths neither of them can ignore.

aggy is a bold one-act play exploring privilege, gender, race and creativity. It’s about art and who gets to make it. The play unflinchingly examines how people freely police one another, and how this can lead to destruction.
