Based on the motion picture Humpday (written & directed in 2009 by Lynn Shelton), Straight is a razor-sharp new comedy from acclaimed writer D. C. Moore about male friendship, sexuality and how the two things can be blurred more easily than one might think . . .

Recenzii

DC Moore's new play, Straight, is a sharp-witted comedy about sex and relationships.
It is a poignant reflection on long-term relationships, the danger of monotony and boredom but also the potential for forgiveness and starting anew after betrayal and hurt ... In short, Straight is a gregarious, flirtatious romp. As corny as it sounds, I have kept thinking about the characters today; such is their vivacity and colour.
Alert to emotional modulations ... Moore's wonderful facility for fresh-minted dialogue
Rather than insecurity about orientation, what the play deftly captures is that hunger for wild, category-shattering experience that may - or may not and that's the risk - enable one to return to everyday normality with the grateful sense of now having made a real choice.
Jabbing punchlines and cringe-inducing comedy make this drama a real hoot ... it's also surprisingly sweet.
Moore writes acutely about masculinity, trust and the numbing effects of social responsibility.
Moore pulls it all off via some brilliantly raucous comic writing. From the bewildered squaddies of 'The Empire' to the nihilistic office worker in 'Honest'. up-and-comer Moore has a killer eye for the neuroses of the British everybloke, which he lovingly amplifies, exaggerates and dissects ... Moore goes way beyond Shelton's film in exploring the grey areas that conventional masculinity papers over.
