THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

VERY SPECIAL GUEST STAR

PRESENTED BY PLAYWELL PRODUCTIONS, TEAM ANGELICA AND EPICENE
From the writer of Undetectable and My Dad’s Gap Year comes a new darkly comedic and wildly sexy show.

Following the sold out runs of critical hits Undetectable (nominated for 3 Off West End Awards) and My Dad’s Gap Year (nominated for 4 Off West End Awards), Tom Wright and Rikki Beadle-Blair bring you their most provocative show to date: the darkly comedic and wildly sexy Very Special Guest Star.

“Finger firmly on the pulse.”
Gay Times (on Undetectable)

In a desperate attempt to bring some spark back to their all-too-cosy married life, professional millennials Michael and Phil switch a sherry on the couch for a night on the town. Their goal: to get in with Generation Z by trying to get off with one.

“One of the most provocative, evocative and inspired pieces of theatre I’ve seen.”
Boyz (on Undetectable)

Enter fit, sexy, confident Quasim. But the ‘just for one night’ adventure brings shocking revelations as Michael and Phil discover more about the 20-year-old boy in their bed than they ever wanted to know, and their suburban dream is shaken to its core.

“Plenty of laughs and an abundance of bare flesh, but Wright also delves deeper into the issues.”
The Stage (on My Dad’s Gap Year)


This performance will take place with a live audience at Omnibus Theatre.

We are so excited to welcome you back through our doors.

We understand that booking tickets for live events right now feels like a bit of a gamble.
