Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, Toxic is the critically-acclaimed new show from award-winning theatre maker Nathaniel J Hall (First Time, It’s A Sin).
“This is the story of how we met, fell in love, and f*cked it up.”
Manchester 2017. A chance meeting on a hook-up app sets two damaged thirty-something hearts on a spectacular collision course. Born into Thatcher’s Britain of race riots and rampant homophobia and growing up in the shadow of Aids and Section 28, the pair form a trauma bond so tight, they might just survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave.
