## Can you fall in love with someone without knowing their gender?

**Peter is about to find** out when he falls for the sexually ambiguous *‘Blue’.*

Their relationship poses a challenge to Peter’s identity, forcing him to face some difficult questions: To what extent are we all encouraged to conform to narrow culturally defined stereotypes, to label and to pigeon-hole ourselves?

Are these labels a form of straight jacket, by adapting to them do we compromise our true nature and can we defy the ultimate label of gender?

Casting caution to the wind, Peter’s passion for Blue provokes prejudice and hostility from friends and family in a tale of sexual liberation and shattered taboos.

### ♦ “A sharply observed unconventional new love story” (Tristan Bates Theatre)
