“A mature and confidently executed work that tackles the stigma surrounding the HIV-positive diagnosis with an effervescent energy, the assured script bolstered by strong performances from a capable cast.”
Positive
Written by Shaun Kitchener, West Avenue Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe 2013
Positive tells the story of Benji, a twentysomething Londoner living with HIV. This isn’t a story about doom, gloom and death, though – it’s about Benji’s struggles with stigma, and the anxiety that comes with it. One year after his diagnosis, he’s become something of a recluse; and now it’s time he grabbed life by the balls and properly started living it again.
Featuring Timothy George, Nathalie Barclay, Shaun Kitchener, Paul Heelis, Jamie-Rose Monk, Will Marsh, Lorna Baillie
