Description
City trader, Olly, still recovering from the death of his boyfriend, Sam, has a chance encounter with homeless teenager Aaron. Worlds apart, as they begin to share their experiences, both the hard-nosed Olly and the reflective Aaron start to see a way forward. However, serious questions remain. Why does Olly spend night after night drinking so heavily, and what could have made Aaron choose a dangerous, uncertain life on the streets over his comfortable middle-class background? Living and breathing in a rainbow of different colours, love doesn't always have to be blue. Or does it?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A very poignant and moving performance that deserves much more attention and audiences than we were part of. As others have commented this play has great potential. A must-see!

This is a deeply moving play about two young men with different, but equally tragic backstories. Happily, the ending offers a gleam of hope. The acting is totally convincing.

I stayed on to see Love is Blue after seeing Tickle and Boys in the Buff (both of which were great!) and if anything this was even better. A great new play, beautifully performed by Sam and Andy, very poignant.
Go see all four of Lambco's plays at the Fringe!

This is a lovely wee play. The two characters are beautifully played. You're kept guessing about what will happen in their delicate and edgy relationship. It packs a lot into the 45 minute playing time. I would happily have watched a longer version to find out what happened next. Very nice work all round.
