DMU Pride: First Time
Synopsis
Part of DMU Pride 2020
Winner of the Venues north Edinburgh Fringe Award 2019
Can you remember your first time?… Nathaniel can’t seem to forget his.
To be fair, he has had it playing on repeat for the last 15 years.
Now the party is over, the balloons have all burst and he’s left living his best queer life: brunching on pills and Googling kangaroo vaginas, ancient condoms and human cesspits on a weekday morning… or is he?
Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning HIV+ theatre-maker, Nathaniel Hall presents a ‘hilarious’ and ‘heart breaking’ autobiographical solo-show about attempting to stay positive in a negative world.
Join him as he blows the lid on the secret he’s been keeping all these years.
Age Recommendation: 14+
Contains strobe light, loud sounds, scenes of recreational drug use, strong language and references to sexual grooming.
