Toxic

By Nathaniel J. Hall

An intimate portrayal of queer love, aching with authenticity, pain and joy. --Russell T. Davies, screenwriter and TV producer

Manchester, 2017. During a hot and sweaty queer warehouse party, two damaged hearts collide. He is HIV+ and drowning in shame. They are one microaggression away from a full-on meltdown. Together, they form a bond so tight, they might just survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave.

Pulling back the glittery curtain of pride to reveal the devastating impact of generational HIV stigma, racism, homophobia, and repressive gender norms, Nathaniel J. Hall's Toxic is a powerful, passionate play celebrating survival and the resilience of the queer spirit.
