    Ollie is trapped in a box of what straight people see as gay men to be. Promiscuous, highly sexual and unfortunately at times predators. He takes on these stereotypes thinking that’s just who he is when in fact it becomes destructive. He’s desperate to prove that he’s desirable. To validate that he could get any man that he wants. 

    Rory, Ollie's old friend from Scotland, completely denies any homosexual feelings and bottles them up. His hyper-hetrosexuality is inauthentic and in result destructive to himself and other people he encounters. But he has an unbearable urge to experiment with men.

    This work in progress is a twisted rom-com exploring the theme of internalised-homophobia.

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
