——————–
A graphic, gripping, funny and frank verbatim drama exposing the gay Chem-Sex Chill-Out
scene, direct from its sell-out award winning runs at the King’s Head Theatre and Brighton
Fringe Festival 2015/16, and most recently, the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
:
“Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meth?”
From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved.
An original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Chem-Sex, Grindr and
instant gratification.
“It’s beautifully done, bold and it tackles the issues that hit home. Race, HIV, drugs, sex,
love, intimacy, lust and pain…in a very sensitive and even funny way”
– Gay Times
̣̣̣̣
Created from 5 peoples interviews and informed by over 50 hours of materiel from guys found
through Grindr and other social media, this is an important look at the relatively new scene that
apps have been fundamental in creating. Chem-Sex is considered by the NHS to be a public
health issue, HIV rates in London rising, its time to talk about this.
“As confronting as theatre gets” – British Theatre
