My Night With Reg

by Kevin Elyot

5 February – 9 March 2019

Presented as part of the 2019 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras

“He loved you, you know. He said you were the only one”

At Guy’s London flat, old friends and new gather to party through the night. This is the summer of 1983, and for Guy and his circle the world is about to change forever.

The story follows these men over several years, through the ups-and-downs of their lives and relationships, and the chain of deception set off by the promiscuous and dangerously attractive Reg.

Funny and bittersweet, this award-winning modern classic captures the fragility of happiness and of life itself. Its compassionate and honest portrayal of friendship, longing and betrayal is full of truth, deeply moving, and brimming with laughs.

Winner: 1994 Evening Standard Award for Best New Comedy

Winner: 2015 Olivier Award for Best Revival
