Each piece is formally inventive & draws on a rich history of gay and queer theatre practice whilst innovatively pushing the form forward.</p><p><br></p><p>This collection includes: </p><p><br></p><p>So Little of You Left - This begins as a traditional poetry reading and rapidly disintegrates into physical theatre combining poetry children's games physical risk & bold imagery to tell the story of a love affair from start to finish. So Little details the marks that love leaves on our bodies.</p><p><br></p><p>His Spread Legs - One year later. Tom alone in his flat in the early hours begins to speak. A haunting and heartbreaking monologue inspired by the biblical Song of Songs excavating the relationship between love language and identity.</p><p><br></p><p>The Actor Has Told of His Pain - In this final installment the two lovers from So Little meet again and a third character - another ex - helps to give shape to the stories they have been telling each other. A three-act play with a queer twist about the act of leaving and being left and coming to terms with the end of the world.</p>
