Walking Each Other Home, Tomothy Graves’ latest LGBTQ+ tragi-comedy, unfolds in a dilapidated Norfolk cottage during the UK’s hottest day on record. Directed by queer theatre director Jason Marc-Williams, the cast features award-winning actor Christopher Poke, Amrik Tumber, and Edward Fisher.
The drama ignites as Michael (Edward Fisher), a gay middle-aged digital nomad, returns from an intense ayahuasca ceremony in the Amazon to visit his homophobic, elderly father, Frank (Christopher Poke). While Frank battles early-stage dementia, he is looked after by a young gay man of Punjabi Sikh heritage. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride!
“In these increasingly dark and challenging times, Walking Each Other Home offers a glimmer of light and hope.”
