THE HIV MONOLOGUES by Patrick Cash<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Lisa Ritchie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE HIV MONOLOGUES is a piece that, while full of optimism, doesn\u2019t shy away from the very real prejudices that are still aimed at HIV positive people to this very day. It\u2019s educational and informative, but at the play\u2019s centre are characters that walk off the page and straight into our hearts; Storytelling at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex knows nothing about HIV. Nick is his Tinder date who\u2019s just been diagnosed positive, struggling with self-worth. Their date is going amazingly until Nick discloses his diagnosis\u2026 And Alex reacts in the worst way. Through meeting Irene, an Irish nurse who treated AIDS in the 1980s, and Barney, who was saved by the 1996 medication, Alex gets on PrEP, but will he be able to win Nick back?

<\/em>In this often hilarious, always moving and poignant piece of exceptional theatre, the author invites you to explore the emotions of living with a virus that attacks the mind as well as the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackling such a big subject is a brave thing to do and Playwright Patrick Cash has penned a trio of interconnected scenarios that are eloquently and cleverly interwoven.  There are many powerful and touching moments in the monologues and Cash captures the horror and stigma, as well as the humour and defiance surrounding the health crisis in the 1980s; touching on the effects of HIV up until the current day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
