From Hive North, producers of the hit play Jock Night, comes a searing one-man theatrical event that has electrified audiences worldwide – The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me!

Written by Obie Award-winner David Drake, this groundbreaking solo piece became one of the longest-running solo plays in New York theatre history. Directed by Offie-nominated Adam Zane and starring Gabriel Clark (Hollyoaks/Jock Night/Tip Toe), Hive North brings this seminal work roaring back to the stage.

At once funny, furious and heartbreakingly tender, The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me charts one man’s personal journey through self-discovery, desire, loss and activism. With a kaleidoscope of characters and vivid vignettes, the play captures the passion and urgency of the 1980s AIDS crisis, inspired by the indomitable spirit of playwright and activist Larry Kramer.

Every bit as vital today as when it first premiered, The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me speaks to the power of community, the fight for justice, and the resilience of queer lives. It is a fierce reminder of how far we have come and how much further we must go.

 

Urgent, unforgettable, and unmissable.
