“Between” returns to Alexander Upstairs having toured extensively over the last year, playing to sold-out houses and standing ovations.
This intimate story of a man’s life, loves and losses was nominated for BEST WRITING and BEST ACTOR at the Dublin Gay Theatre Festival 2012. Here’s what Sunday Independent had to say about Between:
“…a play that finds itself in the giddy joys of first love, the rhythmic breathing of post-coital bliss, and in the jolt that runs down your back when accidentally brushing up against the person you are secretly infatuated with… The piece is both frank in its approach and presentation of gay relationships as well as tender in its pursuit of matters relating to human intimacy… Told through sonnets, stares and all the other spaces-in-between, ‘between’ is a youthful, accomplished production revelling in the language of love.”
“Between is very engaging, fast paced and SEXY… theatre that explores aspects of male sexuality rarely seen so honestly.”
If you’re GAY then you MUST see this show!
If you’re STRAIGHT then you MUST see this show!
If you have ever been IN LOVE then you MUST see this show!
If you have ever had your HEART BROKEN then you MUST see this show!
IF YOU HAVE: had SEX, NEVER had sex, KISSED a girl, kissed a boy, read a SONNET, never read a sonnet, written a LOVE LETTER, had a CRUSH on a TEACHER, pretended to be BATMAN or ROBIN, found a DIRTY MAGAZINE, watched PORN, fought with a lover, consoled a lover…
