PREVIEW: Brighton Fringe: 5 Guys Chillin’

May 20, 2016

Em-Lou Productions and the King’s Head Theatre present 5 Guys Chillin’, a graphic, gripping, funny and frank verbatim drama exposing the gay chem-sex, chill-out scene, written and directed by Peter Darney.

5 Guys Chillin'

“Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meth?”

From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved. An original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Grindr, and instant gratification.

Direct from its sell-out run at the King’s Head Theatre and Brighton Fringe Festival 2015:

“It’s beautifully done, bold and it tackles the issues that hit home. Race, HIV, drugs, sex, love, intimacy, lust and pain…in a very sensitive and even funny way” …..Gay Times 

Taken from over 50 hours of interviews from guys found through Grindr and other social media, this is an important look at the relatively new scene that they have been fundamental in creating.

5 Guys Chillin’ looks at changing attitudes to sex, to HIV and to our perception of what sexual relations can and should be.

“Very clever and stays with you long after the curtain is down” …..Attitude Magazine

Winner of the Doric Wilson Intercultural Dialogue Award and Best Actor award at Dublin International Gay Theatre Festival 2016.
