Based on the film Humpday (written & directed in 2009 by Lynn Shelton), Straight is a razor-sharp new comedy from acclaimed writer DC Moore about male friendship, sexuality and how two things can be blurred more easily than you might think.

Lewis and Waldorf were inseparable at university. Ten years on and a lot has changed. In the middle of a drunken night out, they make a bet that will take their friendship to a whole new level. You'll never look at your best friend in the same way again.

REVIEWS:

"DC Moore's new play, Straight, is a sharp-witted comedy about sex and relationships."

 Jane Shilling, The Telegraph

"It is a poignant reflection on long-term relationships, the danger of monotony and boredom but also the potential for forgiveness and starting anew after betrayal and hurt... In short, Straight is a gregarious, flirtatious romp. As corny as it sounds, I have keep thinking about the characters today; such is their vivacity and colour."

 Ruth Kilner, What's On Stage

"Alert to emotional modulations... Moore's wonderful facility for fresh-minted dialogue."

 Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

"Rather than insecurity about orientation, what the play deftly captures is that hunger for wild, category-shattering experience that may -- or may not and that's the risk -- enable one to return to everyday normality with the grateful sense of now having made a real choice."

 Paul Taylor, Independent

"Jabbing punchlines and cringe-inducing comedy make this drama a real hoot...it's also surprisingly sweet."

 Matt Trueman, Financial Times

Premiere Production:

Adapted for the stage by award-winning writer DC Moore, author of Town, Honest, Alaska, and The Empire, Straight premiered in the Crucible Lyceum Studio, directed by Richard Wilson.
