Sinopse

'This is the story of how we met, fell in love, and fucked it up. But it's not just our story. It's his, and his and theirs. Maybe it's yours…'
Manchester, 2017. During a hot and sweaty queer warehouse party, two damaged hearts collide. He is HIV+ and drowning in shame. They are one microaggression away from a full-on meltdown. Together, they form a bond so tight, they might just survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave.
Pulling back the glittery curtain of pride to reveal the devastating impact of generational HIV stigma, racism, homophobia and repressive gender norms, Nathaniel J Hall's Toxic is a powerful, passionate play celebrating survival and the resilience of the queer spirit.
Inspired by true events, it was first performed at HOME, Manchester, in 2023, before touring the UK in 2025, directed by Scott Le Crass, and performed by the playwright alongside Josh-Susan Enright.
'An intimate portrayal of queer love, aching with authenticity, pain and joy' Russell T Davies

    Tattoo artist Seth Wheeler thinks he’s struck gold when Darren Romero rents the apartment across the hall. The new guy is gorgeous, witty, and single, plus he’s just the right amount of bold and flirtatious. Perfect. 
    Well, except for the part where he moved to Tucker Springs to take a job as the youth pastor at the New Light Church. While this hardcore atheist enjoys a hearty debate, Seth’s painful past has led him to avoid believers—not out of judgment but out of self-preservation. 
    Darren is everything Seth wants in a man except for that one massive detail that’s impossible to overlook. 
    But is Darren’s religion the real problem? Or is it just a convenient smokescreen to keep Seth from facing a deeper fear? 
    Seth needs to figure it out soon, because while Darren may be a patient man, he won’t wait around for eternity. 
    This previously published book is #4 in the Tucker Springs series, and can be listened to as a standalone.

    Caught in their last moment of decadent obliviousness, the characters in At Danceteria are so blinded by the strobe lights they can’t see what’s waiting in the shadows. While fictional, each of the collection’s seven stories, set at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, takes as their inspiration a real event: Halston and Liza reliving the Studio 54 glory days; Freddie Mercury Roman Holiday-ing Princess Di to a drag show; the Reagan White House rolling out the red carpet for Rock Hudson; a man-on-the-street with main character energy; Jackie Kennedy at a leather bar; a serenading Sylvester; and Keith Haring’s 26th birthday party… hosted by Madonna. Deftly balancing incisive wit and nostalgic melancholy, Walker paints a neon picture of the past, turning queer legends – both lore and people – into vivid reality.
