A two-hander play that packs a punch- the power of friendship, a zest for living. Funny, touching, theatre fireworks.
Ramsay, 68, a gay man in the grand old style, is visited one evening by a young lad, Kieran. ‘I’m your grandson,’ he tells Ramsay. This outrageous play follows the twists and turns of their developing relationship. Set in 1992, it brings to life and holds a mirror up to the gay community at a time of great change. The acting space is set alight with their exuberant use of the old Polari, the secret language shared between gay people, fairground workers, sailors, and others through the ages.
Rapier wit, powerful story, a record of a fast-disappearing language, characters you’d like to have a few bevvies with, and a remarkable feel-good conclusion.
