Content Advice
From the twisted homosexual mind that brought you Gay Witch Sex Cult, Andrew Doherty returns with Edinburgh hit Sad Gay AIDS Play.
‘The finest horror pastiche I can recall on the Fringe since Garth Marenghi.’
★★★★ Guardian

Andrew relaunches himself with a ground-breaking piece of tragic theatre – the depressed love child of A Little Life and Angels in America, cooked up in an effort to be taken more seriously by The Pulitzer committee and earn his one way ticket to success.

Sad Gay AIDS Play sees brave and fame hungry Andrew throw the book at AIDS and ask the Arts Council to pick it up.
