Debra Oswald is smart and funny and insightful and adorable. Her bio screams success. She’s written hit TV shows, plays and novels for adults and children. So why, now, the urge to step out from behind the typewriter and into the spotlight? In, what’s more, a self-devised one-woman show?
It’s brave and perhaps a little foolhardy but that, as we discover in this entertaining 80-minute monologue, is kind of the point.

Two men hook up after meeting on the dating app Grindr. Warren and Edden choose a two-seater bench in Green Park, in Sydneyâs gay-friendly inner-city Darlinghurst â a safe public space to initially appraise one another in the flesh.
Warren (Steve Le Marquand) is in his late 50s. He explores his sexual fluidity while in Sydney for work, although he doesnât post a public picture of himself in his profile. He calls himself straight and thinks of himself as happily married to the woman with whom he lives in a regional area.
