Oooo dd has done scenes from this as part of her auditions

Its interesting

Hmmm about time there was a play with a bisexual lead character.

Great cast too

And they do mention "men" and "women", bound to run into trouble!

This play was first produced in 2009! It was written by Mike Bartlett, who has subsequently gone on to immense TV success - Dr Foster, for example. He’s an enviably efficient playwright.

You could always read the play script before going to see it - widely available. It’s also been produced on the radio - don’t know if it’s still on iplayer. The play itself is probably more interesting in its form and execution than in its subject matter - but it’s very popular so I can see why it’s being revived.

Sorry - that was probably a bit superficial - but in addressing issues of sexuality and identity between men and women it’s no different to perhaps 95% of all drama ever produced.

It’ll be a long, long time before every single piece of theatre is re-purposed to suit a particular agenda.
