Nine-Year Cycle

<p><strong>Growing up in a small town in the 60s I want to be a performer - I do not know that I am gay. I am cast in brilliant productions and meet my first true love. A life together blossoms filled with incredible acting roles for us both.</strong></p><p><strong>Then the bombshell is dropped-he is diagnosed with HIV. I nurse him for months unable to work and no financial aid until his death in 1992. A nine-year relationship. When my soulmate dies I am at a complete loss. Only friends and theatre bring me back to life. </strong></p><p><strong>Years later I move to Brighton and meet an aspiring designer from Algeria on a gay dating app. So begins our love story. We overcome immigration obstacles thanks to Lord Cashman and build a life as Civil Partners. Out of the blue he returns to his Islamic faith and cannot continue with his lifestyle. I spiral into depression. Friends and theatre pull me from the depths of despair. I return to Chichester Theatre thanks to Stephen Mear where I was working when we first met nine years before.</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>I've known Trevor Jones for a lifetime and was very excited to see what his book was like. I loved it it's a true account of his life very moving hysterically fun and full of surprises. Go to your local bookstore and buy or order it or place it in a very prominent place on the shelf. Biggins x</span></p>
