About the show
Outing is a heartfelt comedy by Unseen Theatre, performed at Space 3 during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Jamie's girlfriend is expecting a proposal; his best friend is expecting him to come out as gay. In a fun-filled romp through five years of friendship, secrets and confusion, the play explores the grey area between friendship and romance, love and longing, truth and lies. It tackles what it means to be queer, straight and completely confused. Running for 50 minutes, suitable for ages 12 and over, with tickets at £12. Content warnings include distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, themes of homophobia, anxiety, and brief references to pregnancy and assault.
Why see this show?
A warm, funny and honest comedy that avoids easy resolutions. Outing has genuine affection for all its characters and treats its LGBTQ+ themes with both levity and care — a solid piece of new writing from a company with a strong debut behind them.
