Following highly acclaimed, sell-out performances in Dublin, New York, Sydney and Edinburgh, 5 Guys Chillin' returns to London for a limited three week season. Woven together using the real words of real guys found on Grindr, 5 Guys Chillin' is a state-of-the-nation play addressing one of the most important public health crises of the twenty-first century, frankly discussing chemsex in taut, intimate and unflinching verbatim drama.

After a critically acclaimed launch at the end of 2016, Dragonflies Theatre's new production returns in 2017, exploring HIV amongst gay men through a series of interwoven stories.

New Theatre, in association with the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, is presenting the award-winning comedy THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED by Douglas Carter Beane, playing 7 February to 4 March 2017.

1 in 10 Gay men in the UK are HIV Positive, and it's rising. 3000 gay men seek help at 56 Dean St for Chem-Sex addiction a month. GHB and other overdoses are common, killing vulnerable gay men. Addiction is destroying lives. Its a public health crisis. WE NEED TO TALK!

For the 11th year, the Edinburgh Fringe Encore Series will be bringing some of the best of the year's festival productions to New York.

Following a successful run at Brighton Fringe in 2015 and two previous sold-out and critically acclaimed runs at the King's Head Theatre, Peter Darney's 5 GUYS CHILLIN' returns this February.

5 Guys Chillin' is a graphic, gripping, funny and frank verbatim drama exposing the gay chill-out scene, and will now be playing late night dates through November as part of our new writing festival #Festival45. Reviews have described the show as "beautifully done, bold and tackles issues that hit home to many" (Gay Times) and "an absolute must see for anyone who goes to the theatre to feel stirred, provoked and who cares deeply about the socio-political issues within our society" (Top London Theatre).

Peter Darney's verbatim tale of chill-outs and sex parties - 5 Guys Chillin' makes an impressive transfer from the Brighton Fringe - and holds a mirror to some of the seedier parts of the party scene.

After hosting the 10th anniversary of the FringeNYC Encore Series in September, SoHo Playhouse will present the 1st annual EDINBURGH ENCORE SERIES beginning October 8.
