He Wears It Well

So this was a show we stumbled across by accident. As we got in the queue we had no idea of the premise, genre, story. So it took us by surprise. I loved the story, so poignant. I felt though that the acting was a little wooden, the first half certainly. But it warmed up in the second half. Enjoyed it though and would definitely recommend!

Keep an eye on Pin Theatre Collective! They are going places. Beautifully written and heartwarmingly performed. This play validates how hard it can be to be yourself in the world and encourages its audience to take that risk anyway. It’s an especially important piece for queer people, and provides a lot of joy that our community has been needing. Even if you aren’t in the LGBTQ+ community, this play is an absolute must see.

A beautiful two person show that highlights some really challenging issues with charm and grace. I was moved to both tears and laughter by these two performers. The show gives a peek into the softness and playfulness that men can experience if they let themselves be vulnerable and the pain of having to hide your truest self in this toxically masculine world. Touching, heartfelt, and joyful in the end!

A quality performance from the acting and stage direction to the writing. I somehow expected something a bit more trivial from the dressing up description but was bowled over by the unique and highly relevant storyline and kept my attention throughout - being a small venue only added to the atmosphere. With only two actors playing multiple parts, the character changes worked seamlessly

We loved this play and would definitely recommend it to others.
Riddles Court is a charming venue, ideally located for enjoying all that the fringe has to offer.

The play is a delightful mix of thought provoking content, with great acting plus an amusing and moving story line.

We enjoyed the costume changes and the skilful football moves!

Very good show. Good script, well performed. Definitely worth seing.

A beautifully told story which is an easy, funny watch whilst addressing an important issue. Only a small venue so help these guys fill it up for the rest of their run.

I had no idea what it was about, and I was positively surprised by one of the most wholesome plays I have ever seen. To start with, the play is in a tiny room which makes it so much easier to not enjoy the play but genuinely read the actors body language. It’s a sweet little queer story about a famous football player and a game designer while they navigate coming out and being queer in a heteronormative world. The performance was extremely intimate. It was wholesome and made my heart warm. Highly recommend!

A game designer is tasked with digitally creating the likeness of a Premiership footballer for a computer game… and Cupid strikes.
This delightful, two man team take on the taboo topic of coming out as a gay football player.
As their relationship grows, so too does the risk of loosing everything in the macho world of football.
This tender play is performed with humour and heart - maybe one too many costume changes - but maybe that’s all part of the fun…
Warm-hearted, sincere and joyous, with no attempt to shock: this is a tale, not of sex, but of love.

10/10 - Serious subject delivered in a fun play to start the day with - well written and acted. Commentary by Hewitt worthy of a spot on Match of the Day.

I was completely charmed by this show. Earnest, tender, thoughtful and funny.

A dash of heartbreak and a whole lot of wholesome, this show is a gentle tale that's all too real. Charming, witty, and heartwarming, the actors did a brilliant job. Well worth a watch.

I really enjoyed this show; a thought-provoking play that held humour, slick and stylised devices and a clever script to communicate important issues. The small space was skilfully navigated by the actors with inventive set and costume. Some lovely moments of sensitivity and connection ignited by an engaging narrative structure. I recommend this show!

What a brilliant, intimate piece of theatre tackling real issues in a sensitive way. Beautifully performed by Luke Hewitt and Nicky Cooper. If you haven't seen it yet treat yourself to an early morning outing! You won't be disappointed

Fantastic!!
This must see performance has been brilliantly written to be witty, heartfelt and a true sign of the times, engaging the audience to think what it’s like for queer couples in the public eye or in stereotypical job roles. This will have you laughing and welling up. The actors and director have done a great job of portraying their various characters and use of the stage!
Would highly recommend!!!

Charming, funny and important.

Don't miss this outstanding piece of new theatre!! Not only is it funny, emotional and heart warming but it also hits on some extremely important topics that need to be heard! A must see! It was a brilliant way to start my morning - book your tickets now while you still can!!!

Such a beautifully written and performed piece - laughter and a few tears.. So glad I saw this!!
