Modern Plays

The brilliant new play from the writer of Beautiful Thing

"What you don''t know, don''t hurt you"

Tony''s ready to live-it-large and love again. But his efforts to step back on to the scene are hampered by a secret his friends, Monica and Kevin, should have told him a long time ago.

Out in the Open is a funny and caustic exploration of love and the limits of friendship set over a long, hazily hot summer weekend in London.

Directed by Kathy Burke, Out in the Open premiered at London''s Hampstead Theatre in March 2001 and transferred to Birmingham Rep.
