I Was a Teenage Bisexual

He’s beginning to feel a little bi-furious.

Vintage horror B-movie meets ‘90s teen flick in this one-of-a-kind show by award-winning* theatre-maker Polis Loizou, exploring life as a bisexual man – with all the horrors that involves.

Junior just wants to be an ordinary guy. But it feels like everyone knows he isn't. Bullies pick him apart at school, while his dad wants him to be more masc. Aside from his body-image issues, he also wrestles with dreams and desires he can't tell anyone about — he can barely admit them to himself.

Just when he thinks things couldn't get worse for him, bodies start turning up in his small town, and suspicion falls on folkloric beings. Beings who sound uncannily similar to him…

“Funny, smart and eerie. A surprisingly and original exploration of bisexuality.”

— Patrick Ness

“An entertaining show, but also one with a message of identity and acceptance that has a clear resonance.”— Robbie Carnegie, Buxton Fringe review
