In March 2020, theatres, community centres and arts venues across the UK went dark, disconnecting audiences and theatre artists.

There are plenty of gay plays, some very successful and other less-so, that carefully depict life as a homosexual male. There aren’t too many that deal with being a bisexual man, with Mike Bartlett’s Cock perhaps being the most famous one. Somehow, someone’s sexual and romantic attraction for multiple genders is always a bit left behind, like in the real world. When we talk about queer issues, bisexual stigma is very present even inside our own community. From their alleged promiscuity to never-being-gay-enough, bi people have their own set of paranoias that can make a very good play.

Bartlett will be joined by three deaf and hard of hearing artists - host Charlie Swinbourne and writers Sahera Khan and Nadia Nadarajah.
