Do you believe in love at first sight? Will didn't. It was just something people said to sound romantic. Hes just a Northern guy whos been single for far too long; still living at home, getting plastered every weekend, and stuck in his dead-end job. That was until he saw the seductive singer, Candy An epiphany. A revelation. The only problem is: shes his best mate in drag. As Will struggles to make sense of his newfound feelings, his life crumbles at the fringes. Should he seize life by his bollocks and tell Candy how he feels? Can he ever be with her? And what does loving her really mean? Opening up conversations about crisis of identity and exploring sexuality in a world consumed by toxic masculinity, Tim Fraser's debut play swings between comedy and pathos in a solo show performed by Michael Waller as Will, who tussles with his new feelings and what they might mean. Candy makes its London premiere following a hit run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2022....................... Praise for the Edinburgh Fringe Production: "A gem.
