This tragi-comic play follows Ally and Zach in real time – the hour before Ally’s 30th birthday – finally confronting the issues and lies in their five-year relationship. Zach’s internalised homophobia highlights the strain modern gay men are under to conform to society’s ideal relationship, and the pitfalls of trying to be normal. A non-stop conversation with no scene breaks, other characters or time-jumps, A Partnership is a tribute to the importance of honesty in any relationship.
