I'm intrigued by this, I remember enjoying My Night with Reg many years back.

Intrigued by this too. I've only ever read the play, and really enjoyed it. However, that hideous poster is making me a little worried. Interested to see Theo Walker, who I recognise solely for doing bizarre but sometimes humorous sketches on TikTok.

Looking forward to this, but wish that producers who choose to do Elyot's plays would stop cheapening his image by marketing their productions like some sub-par gaybait trash. Let's hope the production serves the play better than the poster.

I quite enjoyed the poster tbh. I was just disappointed to discover that the poster guy isn’t in the show  |

I saw this play a number of years ago at Trafalgar Studios and if you like Kevin Elyot you'll like this.

Some good writing but was disappointed with this. There isn't much (needed) chemistry amongst the cast and a fair few fluffed lines. Sam Goodchild is the standout but sadly isn't in the piece for long enough. A bit baffled by that last scene too. Maybe it comes across better on paper.

Advertised with Nudity … there wasn’t any yesterday. Only a hint of a buttock. Poor script. And poorly cast. Don’t expect a west end transfer.

I'm very curious about the nudity or lack thereof. The script features one of the most explicit sex scene arguably ever staged, and I wonder if they ditched the nudity during rehearsal or they used the warning to lure in Theo Walker's large gay following knowing full well they did not intend to show anything.
