About this event

Nick Bamford's 'Gay, age-gap romance... there are many forms of addiction'

Written & directed by Nick Bamford, a young man who needs money dates an older who has more than enough. As their relationship develops it becomes clear that they have more in common than either realises, and that each can help the other to find a way forward. In the wake of the opioid scandal, this gay, age-gap romance with an edge finds that there are many kinds of addiction.

Responses to an extract read at Miracle Theatre’s Made in Cornwall Scratch Night:

‘Love the concept..’

‘Very engaged . Want to know what happens next….’

Reviews of Nick’s Come Out Fighting, which VISITED THE Acorn in ’23:

‘The play is important. Of the moment.’ – Close-up Culture

‘Truly a wild ride full of surprises’ – The Reviews Hub

‘A striking fusion of classic and contemporary musical renditions from the immortal “Carmen,” woven seamlessly into a powerful narrative’ – West End Evenings
