Working-class northerner Sam had no problem coming out as gay to his parents. But coming out as a Tory? “Dad, I think you’d better sit down.”

‘Who runs the Conservative Party in London? The gay men, of course!
Baroness Blatch

‘A huge percentage of Conservative councillors, staff and officers are gay. Oh, and before you ask, yes I am, and I am open to offers!’
Brian Coleman (London Assembly)

Tory Boyz is a bold and acerbic political comedy that shines a light on the hidden faces behind the Conservative Party. Peopled by young, exciting men and women who don’t exactly fit with the stereotype, the play confronts questions over the party seen traditionally by the liberal left as intolerant and prejudiced.

Is it possible that the party which passed Section 28 maybe, just maybe, also elected Britain’s first ever gay Prime Minister? Tory Boyz, by award winning playwright James Graham, explores a generation disillusioned by the lofty policy making of Westminster, who are more likely to vote in reality TV that in the next general election.
