Synopsis

'Jo and Harry are changing.
Harry is changing more than most, undeniably.
And change is beautiful. Necessary. Terrifying.'
Break-ups aren't just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities…
What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
Chris Bush's play Otherland is a bold and beautiful exploration of what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Ann Yee.
Otherland was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

    British biographer Lily Gray is going to LA for one thing: To write the story of reclusive Hollywood actress, Clara Wild. Clara inexplicably stepped away from stardom at the height of her fame, leaving fans and the industry baffled. But as Lily dives deeper into the enigma surrounding Clara's retreat, she's met with more than writer's block—because Clara isn't exactly thrilled to spill her secrets. She's been pushed into the book in an effort to resurrect her career and doesn't know if she really wants to tell all. 
     
     
     
    But squeezing the truth out of Clara is about to get pushed down the list of Lily's problems. Because after a misinterpreted video leads people to believe that Lily and Clara might be a couple, the rumor captures the public's imagination and media attention surges. They decide to lean into the chaos, realizing that faking a love affair might save Clara's career and make Lily's book a hit. 
     
     
     
    But as they navigate the ups and downs of their faux romance, they find themselves tangled in a web of agents, paparazzi, ex-girlfriends, and counterfeit chihuahuas. And when the line between reality and make-believe starts to blur, that's when the real test begins.

    Callum Kennedy: I should have known behind that deep sexy southern drawl, and beautiful face lived the world's biggest asshole. I've tried my damnedest to put him behind me. But it was hard to do when I saw his face every night in my dreams and couldn't forget how he worked my body over. I had my work as a vet, my equine rescue to manage, and my friends. I'd forget him or work myself to death trying. But it turns out he's the new free-agent running back who just signed a deal with the Portland Pirates. The infamous Declan Miller has turned my world upside down and reinserted himself back into my life for the next year. Declan's the last person I want help from, but it looks like I don't have a choice. 
     
     
     
    Declan Miller: When I walked into Alejandro's Bar that night, I never expected to meet someone my first night in town. But the sexy guy with wavy dark blond hair and hazel-green eyes sitting alone at the bar caught my attention. Or maybe it was the way he was sniffing his own shirt. After a night of the best sex of my life, I knew I had to push him away. I wasn't doing relationships anymore, and this gorgeous, funny man had the power to break me. But when I find out my unforgettable hookup is part of my new friend group, Dr. Callum Kennedy wants nothing to do with me until he has no choice but to let me help.

    Manuel Betancourt's Hello Stranger explores modern queer romance and the expansive possibilities of ephemeral intimacies 
     
     
     
    "Hello stranger." As an opening line, you really can't ask for better. 
     
     
     
    Hello Stranger is a book about chance encounters—at a bar, through social media, in a bathhouse—and what a stranger can reveal about who we are and who we could still yet be. A stranger, after all, is a site of endless possibilities. 
     
     
     
    As Manuel Betancourt looks back on his past relationships, he turns to characters and narratives that helped him question notions of what monogamy and coupledom (and relationships and marriage) can and should look like. From films like Before Sunrise and Cruising to the poetry of Frank O'Hara and the musicals of Stephen Sondheim, Betancourt uses pop culture to make sense of the alluring prospect of forging intimacies with strangers—even, or especially, the strangers within ourselves. 
     
     
     
    At once a personal excavation and a broad cultural critique, Betancourt grapples with everything from online sexting and real-life cruising to divorces and throuples. Hello Stranger examines the intimacies we crave, value, and oftentimes destroy with rote familiarity.

     Char thought she had a perfect life. She was married to a successful surgeon who was kind, committed, and willing to provide Char with anything that made her happy. What made her happy, besides her perfect marriage, was her dressage horse, Mystic, (never mind the cost). And now that a new trainer was moving to Blue Ribbon from Hamburg, Germany, she would have the ability to take her dressage riding to the highest level possible. With everything going so perfectly, Char shouldn’t have had any reason not to be happy. But something had been missing in her relationship with Dr. Kelley, (otherwise known around the hospital as “Dr. Dreamy”), and she couldn’t figure out what it was. 
       When Char finally met Petra, the new dressage trainer, Char became more than just a little star-struck. She was, quite frankly, infatuated, and wanted to spend every waking second at the barn…and with her. What was going on?  
       At first, Char thought it was her fascination with the foreign trainer from Germany who was riding at the Olympic level. But when Petra gave Char a goodbye kiss that was more reminiscent of a French kiss than a platonic one, Char was forced to take a look at what was really going on inside her. Char may not have wanted to take a hard look at herself and risk screwing up her near-perfect life, but having Petra so close ultimately forced the issue if Char ever wanted to move forward and find true happiness. 
       Char was afraid of the answer. What would happen to her and her perfect life? How would she be able to afford her privileged lifestyle and her horse (including the dressage lessons,) that she had grown so accustomed to enjoying?  
       Perhaps she was simply going through a mid-life crisis or was in awe of the new trainer from Germany. Ultimately, Char knew she must find out. She became more afraid of not knowing, than of what the truth might reveal.
