Due to popular demand, the King's Head Theatre are proud to announce extensions to their 5-star "fan-f*cking-tastic" (CultureFly) production of F*cking Men and Peter Darney's verbatim 4-star "brave, bold, and thoroughly raw-nerve" (British Theatre) 5 Guys Chillin'.
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). Artistic director of the King's Head Theatre, Adam Spreadbury-Maher, says "This play tackles the most serious, urgent gay men's health crisis since the outbreak of HIV in the early 80s. HIV and hepatitis infections are on the rise again due to shared needle use and unprotected sex on the chill-out scene, causing a huge strain on individuals, communities and the NHS. From just 3 nights at the Brighton Fringe, we are now extending the show into a second month to keep the conversation going about this crisis. We're so thrilled to be doing such important verbatim work."Videos
