Testing Times

Based on interviews conducted with HIV+ young men from around the region, this new play explores the life-changing impact of being diagnosed HIV+ from the perspective of a young gay man, his partner and his mother. Frank and funny, poignant and provocative, Testing Times chronicles the journey from anger, fear and despair to acceptance, strength and hope.

Testing Times features a truly talented cast of performers. Christopher Strain (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest; East; Riot) stars as Dominic, whilst James Hedley (The Man and the Donkey; Keep Calm and Carry On; The Hobbit) takes on the role of Chris, Dominic's partner, and Angela Szalay (Calendar Girls: The Selkie; Waiting for Gateaux) plays Brenda, Dominic's no-nonsense mother.

Written, produced and directed by Steve Burbridge,Testing Times promises to be an empowering and moving new play.

The production is suitable for patrons aged 18 or over, as it contains strong language and adult themes.
