'Do you feel that? That tingle. Just before we touch.' Moth and Dog are stuck inside. Inside is the place they have always / only known each other. Inside is the place they have grown. The place they have laughed, cried and hidden themselves. Until now. An inventive two-hander that blends searing dialogue, physical theatre, techno soundscapes and fragmented, time-jumping storytelling to explore queer desire, masculinity, and navigating both intimacy and early adulthood during times of crisis. Officially selected for the National Student Drama Festival 2026 at Curve Theatre Leicester. Come see.
