A funny and intimate queer one-person play exploring sexuality, shame… and toilets.
He’s lost in life. He doesn’t have a job, he doesn’t have direction… but he does have a secret. He spends his days cruising men’s toilets, finding secret pleasure with strangers. But over the course of the play, his secrets start to catch up on him, his shame builds, and the people around him start to pay the price…
Henry Roberts is a queer writer and photographer originally from Lancashire now based in London. In his work, Henry explores questions of memory, identity and intimacy in an uncertain world.
