5 Guys Chillin'

Peter Darney

‘Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meph?’ From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved. An original look into a drugfuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Chem-Sex, Grindr and instant gratification. Created from five people’s interviews and informed by over fifty hours of material 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. With HIV rates in London soaring and these parties being held in part to blame, 5 Guys Chillin’ looks at changing attitudes to sex, to HIV, to how we achieve intimacy and our perception of what sexual relations can and should be. Winner of the Doric Wilson Intercultural Dialogue Award and Best Actor award (Elliot Hadley) at Dublin International Gay Theatre Festival 2016 Radio Reverb Out In Brighton LGBTQ Award 2016

Stati c fuses music, dialogue, sign language and audio description to explore our complex response to love and loss. It is steeped in a love of music from Sonic Youth to The Smiths, The Ramones to The Rakes and from Girls Aloud to the Goodies (we’ve all got guilty pleasures).

Reza de Wet: Two Plays

In Fever, Emma corresponds with Katy back in England, who learns the full and terrible extent of her sister's yearning and isolation when she discovers her hidden diary.
