Away From Home Champions Gypsy QueenAway From Home
Kyle is comfortable with his life as a male escort until the day he is hired by a premiership footballer, and finds himself falling in love. But can Kyle maintain a relationship with a closeted footballer in a country where not one pro player is out? Can he go on pretending that the homophobia endemic in the game is nothing to do with him? Does he know what a relationship means, when, for him, sex has only ever been a transaction? Can he ever tell his friends - and his family - the truth? Hailed by The Independent as 'a singularly brave and extraordinary piece of theatre', and playing to sell-out audiences at last summer's 24:7 Theatre Festival, Away From Homegarnered two awards; the Equity Vicky Allan Memorial Award for Best Show of the Festival and Best Actor for Rob Ward's tour-de-force portrayal of male escort, Kyle. An edgy, moving and subversive one man show laced with sharp humour, Away From Homegoes in for a hard tackle on football's last taboo.
