I Was A Teenage Bisexual


NOMINEE: Best New Writing (Buxton Fringe 2023)

Somewhere out there is a creature so terrifying, most humans dare not speak its name: the BISEXUAL.

Horror B-movie meets folklore storytelling, infused with poetry. A brand-new, one-of-a-kind show exploring life as a bi man, and the associated horrors.

Junior just wants to be an ordinary guy. But it feels like everyone knows he isn’t. Bullies pick him apart at school, while his dad wants him to be manlier. Aside from his body-image issues, he also wrestles with dreams and desires he can’t tell anyone about.

Just when he thinks things couldn’t get worse for him, bodies start turning up, and suspicion falls on folkloric beings. Beings who sound very similar to him…


The piece was performed at A Pinch of VAULT, Buxton Fringe, London Horror Festival and Edinburgh Horror Festival in 2023.

Stay tuned for further developments…
