Acting Out (Ireland)

About

Who has the right to tell your story? That's the subject of this new spiky comedy by multi-award winning, Acting Out, When Gavin offers to help his writer friend, Robbie to work on a new novel with a queer theme, Robbie is initially reluctant. As a straight cis man he fears he will be accused of appropriation but is reassured by Gavin, a cis gay man, that writers should be able to write anything they like. Gavin's friend Mel, a struggling playwright is less convinced. But when an offer to publish the emerging novel comes, the question of who the story belongs to, threatens to tear Gavin and Robbie's friendship apart. A sharp comedy which will make you reflect on who you'd let tell your own story!
