Dougie is out and proud, a "gay veteran" of campaigns, marches and promiscuity. Nick is a veteran, a straight guy who yearns for the good old days of Razzle. And Ray? Ray just wants to go home and have a cuddle. They will tell you their stories, the humour, the truth. But a terrifying event brings these three men together in one room. Love is A Bruise examines banter, behaviour and brotherhood and the consequences of falling in love and forgetting who you are. A brand-new play by the double Colchester Fringe award winning writer Paul T. Davies, (The Miner's Crow, Living with Luke), in association with Colchester Fringe Award winning 3 Wishes Theatre, (4:48 Psychosis).
