Clapham Junction
Clapham Junction is a provocative and powerful single drama written by acclaimed playwright Kevin Elyot, about the mixed experiences of several gay men during 36 hours in London, and the devastating consequences that unfold when their lives collide.
From a civil partnership ceremony to a heated dinner party, five separate stories are woven into the fabric of modern day London from school and work, to bars and clubs, during one hot summer’s night in the capital.

Kevin Elyot says: "While there seems to be a greater acceptance of gays in society – consent, equality, civil partnerships, higher media visibility – homophobic violence has not disappeared. Bigotry is still bubbling just below the surface and sometimes in the most surprising quarters."
Kevin Elyot
Elyot is best known as the author of the ground-breaking 1994 play 'My Night with Reg,' which was one of the first productions to successfully engage audiences with the growth of HIV and AIDS in the UK and won him an Olivier award. It transferred from the Royal Court Theatre to the West End before being filmed for the BBC.
