Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit is a self-love story about finding yourself and staying true to your roots. From those first teenage moments of lust, surviving adolescent violence, family struggles, and falling in love for the first time to the thrills and spills of the hedonism of the gay scene. Romeo’s arrived at this moment: vibrant, bruised, fiercely ambitious and ready to share his story.

This is the text performed at the Barbican in April 2025. As well as the play, it includes an introduction by the director, Rikki Beadle-Blair MBE, a production history, and short essays by both playwrights.
