Tim McArthur talks to Queerguru about his semi-biographical play SMALL TOWN BOY on the eve of its premiere in London’s Union Theatre
Brit TIM McARTHUR is something of a modern renaissance man : when it comes to the theatre there is very little he hasn’t done . He has just finished a smash run this summer as Sister Mary Playtime in Provincetown, and is now back home in London rehearsing his new play SMALL TOWN BOY. It’s plot is based on a remarkable true story which totally fascinated us.
It all happened one summer in New York just a couple of years ago when Tim was introduced to another Brit gay man who happened to have grown up in a small town in the North of England, just a few miles from Tim’s home town. When chatting further they discovered totally unknown to each other they had actually both dated the same man at the same time . Its the stuff that (gay) dreams are made so we HAD to know more so we tracked him down to the Union Theatre in London on the eve of the play’s premiere …..
