Description:
James is stuck. Adrenalised and alone with an unconscious cellmate in a police holding cell after throwing a brick during a queer rights protest, he unpacks the experiences that brought him here: a lifelong battle with identity, over-achievement masking loneliness, a family tragedy that left deep fractures. Pulled into protest culture through a crush on an artist/activist, personal grief and political fury collide. With dark humour and confession, this powerful new play – winner of the 2026 BoonDog Theatre Edinburgh Mentorship Scheme – examines how systemic neglect pushes vulnerable people toward dangerous obsessions and extreme acts.
