Description

You took relationships as if they were the next train.

Alex and Colin's stories flow like mist down the Thames, roll under Hammersmith Bridge, and slip past the windows of forgotten Soho restaurants. As the old men's youth comes to life, so do the young men they once loved.

Peter Gill's captivating, romantic new play premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in October 2022.

'Peter Gill's influence on British theatre is profound. An unsung hero.' - Michael Billington, Guardian
