Bruce finds himself sitting in a pub contemplating his life. Having donated his sperm to his lesbian friends so they could have a family, circumstances took a turn, resulting in him being estranged from his son. As a gay man he has never been in a committed relationship to be in a position to bring up a child. But, today is his sons 18th birthday, forcing Bruce to confront the choices he has made through his life.

​

"Bruce" was written as a character development exercise for one of an anthology of plays under the heading 'Kitchen Sink Drama' - a collection of plays that explore issues facing us in the world we live in today; holding up a mirror, making a record, and capturing the essence of life in the 21st Century.

​

"Bruce" was selected by Katalyst Productions as part of their 'Beginnings - A festival of New Writing', and and was performed at The Lion & Unicorn Theatre, London, on 11th and 12th July 2021, performed by Nigel Fairs, directed by Louise Jameson.
