My Night With Reg (NHB Modern Plays)

An era-defining comedy set amongst London's gay community. Winner of the Evening Standard and Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Comedy. The play follows the ups and downs of a circle of gay friends over a period of several years. One of the group, the Reg mentioned in the title, is not a character in the play but the whole plot revolves around his apparent promiscuity and the chain reaction of deception and betrayal set off by it. My Night With Reg premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in March 1994. 'a play of genius... sublimely moving, genuinely funny and exquisitely observed' Daily Mail'laughter with a killer punchline' The Times'a sharply witty and humanely wise drama about gay manners and morals in the age of AIDS' Independent
