Tory Boyz - Worlds Apart

Synopsis

Tory Boyz is a bold and acerbic political comedy drama that shines a light on the hidden faces behind the conservative party. Peopled by young, exciting men and women who don't exactly fit with the stereotype, the play confronts questions over the party seen traditional by the liberal left as intolerant and prejudiced, yet whose leader's voting record on equal rights surpasses the Labour Prime Minister's and whose intake of homosexual MP's and Councillors is unrivalled. And, of course, with ambiguity and fanciful speculation swirling around Edward Heath, is it possible that the party which passed Section 28 maybe, just maybe, also elected Britain's first ever gay Prime Minister?

AliMac - 31 August 2008:

A well written new play which speculates on whether Ted Heath (played by Hamish MacDougall initially as a baton-wielding conductor of frenetic scene changes) was our 1st gay prime minister), and explores whether a more openly gay MP would be electable as PM today. Good timing for this as the most obvious choice for a more world-acceptable lead in the Whitehouse may not be elected due to reflex bigotry. As chief-of-staff in a common's research group, Dan Ings is gratifyingly slimy (like an English JR Ewing), eventually 'letting go' gay researcher Shaun Rivers on the basis that "I can't stand people who don't like me". Thoroughly entertaining, and hopefully a good launch-pad for these young actors....
