Away From Home
Exploring the stigma of homosexuality in sport.
Overview
Kyle is happy with his life as a male escort until the day he is hired by a closeted premiership football player and falls in love.
Based around the stigma of homosexuality in sport, Away From Home follows the relationship in a country where not one of the 5000 professional football players are out. In the one-man performance, actor Rob Ward manages to single handedly pull off a vast range of characters, a feat that saw him pick up awards like the Equity Vicky Allan Memorial Award for Best Show and Best Actor.
Also appearing as part of the Pride Festival, the show comes to Auckland direct from the UK where it played out to sell-out audiences and rave reviews.
There will be a panel discussion about stigma around homosexuality in sport after the performance on Wednesday 18 February.
