From the Producers of Love It If We Beat Them comes a new show about one man’s journey to self-acceptance.
After a bad break-up from a six-year relationship, a plus-sized, gay, primary school teacher decides to sublet his flat to buff Instagram model Jamie. At the same time, he launches himself into dating again but finds the world of apps a much crueller place to people like him than he remembers. As the humiliations he experiences online build, his feelings toward his new flatmate grow, until he is forced to face up to his own prejudices, toxicity and failures to the people who matter most.
Funny yet poignant, this solo-performed play tackles body image pressures, social media jealousy, and one gay man’s journey to self-acceptance head on, whilst navigating the toxic universal world of online dating.
Buff is written by new up-and-coming playwright Ben Fensome, presented by Emmerson and Ward Productions, and directed by The Stage Debut Award shortlisted Scott Le Crass (Rose, West End; Toxic, Home, Manchester).
Content note: Age rating 15+. Strong language, sexual references and derogatory references to body size and shape.
