tell me straight & aggy

Following rave reviews at Park Theatre in March 2026, SH Productions and telling tales bring dynamic double bill, tell me straight and aggy to the King’s Head Theatre this autumn. Written by Paul Bradshaw (West 11, Southwark Playhouse; The Barn, Turbine Theatre), both plays offer a candid portrayal of modern queer life in London, exploring the chaos of contemporary dating, desire and creative ambition.

tell me straight is a fast-paced, semi-autobiographical play about sexuality, desire and the uncertainty of modern relationships. It follows a man whose recent hook-ups all share one defining detail, they are all straight. When his best friend Dani suggests he needs to change his approach, he attempts a 30-day detox from alcohol, fast food and sex. tell me straight confronts the consequences, exploring the truths we often avoid. 

aggy completes the double bill exploring privilege, race and gender. A bold one-act play, it asks urgent questions about art and who gets to make it. Set within a relationship under pressure, aggy follows Lawrence and Mahlik, who are preparing to move in together. When Mahlik suggests that Lawrence adopt an alter ego to advance his career, the experiment quickly takes on a life of its own. As the fabricated persona gains traction, the pair are forced to interrogate authenticity and the consequences of turning identity into a performance.

Across the two plays, writer Paul Bradshaw traces how people shape themselves under pressure from relationships, blending his signature wit with emotional honesty. He will star in tell me straight and co-direct aggy, alongside Imogen Frances (Barrier(s), Birmingham Rep, Manchester Home, Camden Peoples Theatre), who will lead on direction for tell me straight.
