The Chemsex Monologues at Above The Stag
Following successful runs in theatres all over the UK, as well as recent shows in Berlin, writer Patrick Cash’s Chemsex Monologues are back in London from this Sunday (1 Jul), taking over the studio space at the new Above The Stag Theatre in Vauxhall. The show follows: a nameless narrator who meets a sexy boy on a night out in Vauxhall, who subsequently introduces him to the pleasures of G; a club night poster boy who gets taken to Old Mother Meth’s place by a porn star; Fag Hag Cath, who is finding chill outs have become more about the sex; and Daniel, a sexual health worker, who does community outreach in saunas. Explicit, funny and touching, The Chemsex Monologues presents a realm that is sometimes dark but populated by very real, loveable people. Tickets are on sale now at abovethestag.com
