About
An intimate, unflinching show about secrets, sex … and toilets.
What happens when our deepest urges are shrouded in shame? What happens when we can’t articulate our desires, even to ourselves?
Close Enough to Touch follows a man who has a girlfriend … and a secret. In this gripping, intimate drama, audiences are taken into the world of cruising – anonymous sex in public places. As our nameless character’s secret builds, so does his shame. The play swings between passion and pathos as we watch a young man struggle to find pleasure, acceptance and, crucially, the language to express himself.
The play previously performed at Theatre 503 in London and the script was longlisted in the RSC’s 37 Plays project.
