BLOWING WHISTLES

by Todd, Matthew

Nigel loves his hedonistic lifestyle – he has a long-term boyfriend, goes clubbing and has lots of sex in their open relationship. Jamie, his partner of ten years isn’t sure things are so great . . . The night before Pride in the Park, the couple make contact with a stranger on the Internet, a mysterious young man that seems too good to be true. They make plans for a night of casual sex, but their young guest has a very different agenda . . . Blowing Whistles is a searingly topical drama about love, sex and Gay Pride, a blisteringly funny and honest account of a modern gay lifestyle.

“Matthew Todd’s brilliant play Blowing Whistles is so fantastically tough and tender that it often feels as if someone has got you in a painful arm-lock, only to give you the sweetest, softest kiss.” Julie Burchill — The Times
