4 Guys Chillin'

“Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meth?”

From surgeons to students, couples to kink, guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved. An original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of chem-sex, Grindr and instant gratification.

Past productions include:

Signal Failure: **** Scotsman **** Broadway Baby **** Edinburgh Guide

Frank Sent Me: ***** New Current **** Scotsgay ****Three weeks

Mysterious Skin: Broadway Baby ***** Fringe Review ***** Fringe Guru *****

Taken from over 50 hours of interviews from guys found through Grindr and other social media, this is an important look at the relatively new scene that they have been fundamental in creating.

4 Guys Chillin’ looks at changing attitudes to sex, to HIV and to our perception of what sexual relations can and should be.
