Smoke is a one-man play about a gay man descending into drug-fuelled psychosis as he struggles to deal with grief and shame two years after his boyfriend’s death (which may or may not have been suicide).

Intense, harrowing; but with a lot of humour. Really worth seeing. It stars Alexis Gregory as the grieving gay man (and Mariah Carey obsessive) and is directed by Campbell X. About an hour long.

I think it has at least one performance left at the Clapham Omnibus Theatre and then it goes on tour. One performance only in each location.

There is a discussion panel after each of the Clapham performances. Not sure if that will also be the case for the touring show.
