HIM to Open at Union Theatre in October
Dan Furlonger, Hannah Chalmers, Alan P. Jones, Gary Tushaw and Julie Wood star in the LGBTQ+ family drama.
HIM by Natalie Ekberg and directed by Simon Fielding will come to the Union Theatre Arch 22 & 23 Old Union Yard Arches 229. Performances will run 19 October 2026 - 30 October 2026.
When Jane unexpectedly falls pregnant with Charlie, she agrees that he will raise the child with his new partner, Osmond. But, over time, their genuine yet imperfect agreement begins to crack under the weight of lingering doubt, buried resentment and conflicting loyalties.
Darkly funny, emotionally charged and painfully honest, HIM explores the fragile truths and lies we construct to protect ourselves and the people we care about most. Because some decisions shape a lifetime. And some debts will never truly be repaid.
HIM is an intimate and deliberately morally complicated play about a contemporary LGBTQ+ family and the consequences of the decisions we make for the people we love
