MRS DALLOWAY

You’re throwing a party. You bought the flowers yourself.

Everyone you have ever loved is coming tonight.

They’re all on their way.

Across one London day, a woman moves through the city and through her own life. The choices she made. The choices that made her.

You want her to choose right.
You don’t know if she will.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT ADAM BLACK
13 January – 20 February 2027

No one knows their way around Grindr like Adam Black.

Tonight it’s LittleWhiteLucifer. Tomorrow it’s WontSuckItself. Yesterday, it was Uncut3000. Adam’s got a tight schedule, a loose hole and absolutely no interest in a relationship.

Daniel is from Yorkshire. Daniel writes poetry. Daniel has no idea what he’s walked into.

Adam has a past. And it is done waiting.
