Men From The Boys, The

In a gay pub, a barman finds a drunken man his own age at chucking-out time. It's the queer-basher from his school days.

Readers' Wives

Synopsis:
Georgie used to live the glittering life of the London fashion designer he once was. He's come back to his northern roots, but now he's reduced to living in a Manchester bedsit with his distinctly un-glamorous and devoutly-Catholic boyfriend, Dermot. Is it the pills Georgie pops that makes him risk his neck protecting local teenage hookers? Does he just have a death wish? Or is there something more to it than that? When his ex-wife, Lydia, arrives for an unexpected visit, she wants some answers, but will Georgie give them to her, before tragedy strikes when the local pimp comes calling?

Graham is an attendant at a sauna for gay men in Manchester. Over a series of one-sided conversations with a silent client, he talks about his life. Only by the end of the play does Graham realise that he has been talking about the disintegration of his relationship with his lover, and that, by now, it's too late and there's no-one to blame but himself.
