New gay play at The Lowry

New gay play at The Lowry

Still Ill by Billy Cowan 

Ulster. The Troubles are over. Police stations are closing down. Sex shops are opening up. Tommy can’t believe all the changes, but then he bumps into Gary, his old friend and fellow fan of The Smiths. The two men start a dangerous affair that pulls Tommy back into a world of violence he hoped had disappeared.

A tragic love story between ‘the jumped up pantry boy’ and ‘the boy with the thorn in his side’.

Winner of Warehouse Theatre’s International Playwriting Award.
