Full Disclosure Theatre's XPOSED to Explore LGBTQ+ Narratives at the Hen & Chickens

Full Disclosure Theatre will present XPOSED, a new writing night of eight short plays by eight emerging writers, revealing the naked and entertaining truths about queer life.

Full Disclosure are a theatre company committed to exploring LGBTQ+ narratives. Passionate about discovering unheard voices within the community, we lay ourselves bare and are always transparent in the way we work. We make theatre to entertain and arouse discussion for all those associated with queer life and beyond.

Full Disclosure Theatre are dedicated to uncovering new truths and providing a platform for artists to share, develop and collaborate. Whatever your preference, our door is always open to emerging writers, actors and other creatives eager to stage stories on LGBTQ+ themes.

Artistic Directors Chris Davis and Sam Luffman met training on the StoneCrabs Young Directors Programme 2016/2017. Chris has a background in West End marketing and staging new writing across London, while Sam has extensive Applied Theatre experience and trained as a Producer at Tricycle Theatre. They have staged work at King's Head Theatre, Theatre503, the Albany, Old Red Lion, Omnibus Theatre, Rosemary Branch Theatre, Bridewell Theatre and Bread & Roses Theatre.

XPOSED takes place on 19 and 20 November at the Hen and Chickens Theatre, near Highbury and Islington station. The night will feature eight plays by eight emerging writers, and you can read more about each one below:

Fluid by Nick Maynard

Directed by Shafeeq Shajahan

Now everyone's equal and everyone's the same. But some of us don't want to be the same. What happens in a post-gay world when sexuality becomes fluid?

Stars by D.J. Sylvis

Directed by Edwina Strobl

A conversation between two universe-crossed lovers who've never met, brought closer by the stars that surround them both.

The Scene by Angus Fisher

Directed by Chris Davis

This trip to Bangkok won't be forgotten anytime soon. A tale about what happens when you mix love, sex and alcohol.

One Night Fran by Adam Szudrich

Directed by Sepy Baghaei

When three women go on separate dates with Fran, they see the same things in very different ways.

Something About Billy by Mark Daniels

Directed by Jake Leonard

Michelle has something to tell Kevin about their son Billy. A comedy about coming out to a traditional, working-class family.

Gold Star by Roisin Moriarty

Directed by Will Maynard

To some, squishy bits are irrelevant. To others, they're all that matter. A primary school teacher gives her date a light-hearted lesson in acceptance.

The Temp by David Hendon

Directed by Sam Luffman

Russell becomes infatuated with office newcomer Tom - he just hasn't told his wife. A weekend away at a conference offers Russell the chance to confront who he is.

Pray Your Wings Will Carry You by Oakley Flanagan

Directed by Alex Prescot

A chance encounter in a gay bar becomes an examination of the roles we play in sex and love

The cast will be announced shortly.
