From Noah’s point of view, it’s all quite simple really. Introduce his girlfriend to his Grandma, blow his Grandma away with his extraordinary cooking skills and then she’ll finally back off and let him live his life the way he wants to. Only problem is, his Grandma isn’t easily impressed. Oh, and unexpected guests keep interrupting the dinner. And also.. Noah doesn’t actually have a girlfriend. Because he’s gay. Noah and his faux-girlfriend Billie, Billie's astrology-obssessed girlfriend Leah, and Noah's sort-of ex Ollie will all attempt to keep up the facade, but in a tiny London flat with not enough chairs, things are bound to boil over.
Thalia Arts is a new company dedicated to telling new, comedic queer stories and rewriting outdated narratives of stereotypical LGBTQ+ relationships, that features an all-queer creative team.
Centre Stage Blog ★★★★
"The nuances in the direction by Beth Wilson continually pinpointed the key take away from the piece; love, in any shape or form, romantic or platonic, is the most sacred thing in the world."
