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?

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.
