for 2016...All The Bensby Ian Townsend
If you don’t do it, how will you ever know?
Ben likes Al, but Al says he’s straight. Al likes Henry, but not in that way. Besides, Al has other things to worry about. Like his girlfriend. And finding a job. And life. Henry likes the number 7. But then everything changes as Ben chases Al, Henry states the obvious and they all visit A&E.And all the time Al tries to understand the world around him, his place in it and his ability to love. All the Bens is a vibrant portrayal of loneliness, desire, sexuality and what happens when you meet your monster in the park. Funny, sharp, urban and brutal, this contemporary love story from Manchester, is written by one of the cities most original and moving writers. Winner of the Manchester Theatre Award for Best Fringe 2013, the Audience Favourite in 24:7 Theatre Festival, and the Vicky Allen Memorial Award presented by Equity. |
