Nick is seventeen, a Goth and gay. In between volunteering at his local old people's home where he conversely gets chatted up and abused by its residents and having to attend re-enactments of Medieval battles with his slightly barmy parents, he finds the time to hang out with best mate, Greg. But a sudden death at the home forces him to confront his fears of coming out as well as perhaps giving his pessimistic mindset a rethink. It was first performed at Oran Mór in Glasgow in 2009.
