Synopsis

This entire play takes place in a toilet. Paul, wheelchair bound relies on his friend Napier to help him. Davy walks in. He obviously has strong prejudices against disabled people and gay men. This eventually leads to a fight with Napier provoking Davy. Paul stops the fight by pushing Davy over with his wheelchair and accidentally killing him. It is a play that tries to smash prejudice, assumption and bigotry.
