They’re about to have the ride of their lives…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A thoroughly enjoyable farce from start to finish."  @AttitudeMag

 

After ten years of married life, Tom and Tim decide to spice up their sex life by booking an evening in a dungeon with a gorgeous male escort. Meanwhile, crime-busting superhero, the Stallion, and his intrepid side-kick, Butterfly, have been lured to the secret lair of their arch-nemesis: the dastardly Villainor.

But what connects these two seemingly random events?

One thing’s for sure: a bump on the head and a faulty door lock result in a night none of them will ever forget - for all the wrong reasons!

‘Horse-Play’ is a hilarious new comedy exploring the kinkier side of life. 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "An intelligent, laugh-out-loud, witty, riotous romp"  @BoyzMagazine

 

Age 16+. Adult themes, adult language, and frank discussions of sex and sexuality.

Duration: approx. 120mins including interval.

**Please note: Seats AA19-20, A19-20 and B18-19 have a slightly restricted view. Please be aware of this when booking your tickets, and contact our Box Office if you have any queries.
