REVIEW: 5 Guys Chillin’, King’s Head Theatre ✭✭✭✭
It both shines a light on a corner of society which is misunderstood and unfairly vilified and, examines the rules, conventions, habits and language of a particular form of sexual expression. When you realise, as I did at some point in the latter part of the play, that the kinds of experiences the characters were discussing were the sorts of experiences that might be discussed in a football locker room or a banker’s pub on a Friday night or a Hen’s do in Malaga – not the specifics, obviously, but the spectrum of experiences, desires and passions – you appreciate the real value of works like this.
5 Guys Chillin’ At The Kings Head This October
Following it’s success at the Brighton Fringe, the play 5 Guys Chillin’ will be presented at the King’s Head Theatre this October. The play by Peter Darney is a frank verbatim drama taken from over 50 hours of interviews from guys found through Grindr and other social media. 5 Guys Chillin’ is an important look at the relatively new scene that social media apps have been fundamental in creating. The play looks at changing attitudes to sex, relationships, dating, HIV and to our perception of what sexual relations can and should be. From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved, 5 Guys Chillin’ is an original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Chem-Sex, Grindr and instant gratification. 5 Guys Chillin” runs at the King’s Head Theatre from 1 – 24 October 2015
