Working-class northerner Sam had no problem coming out as gay to his parents. But coming out as a Tory? “Dad, I think you’d better sit down.”

‘Who runs the Conservative Party in London? The gay men, of course!
Baroness Blatch

‘A huge percentage of Conservative councillors, staff and officers are gay. Oh, and before you ask, yes I am, and I am open to offers!’
Brian Coleman (London Assembly)

Tory Boyz is a bold and acerbic political comedy drama that shines a light on the hidden faces behind the Conservative party. Peopled by young, exciting men and women who don’t exactly fit with the stereotype, the play confronts questions over the party seen traditionally by the liberal left as intolerant and prejudice, yet whose leader’s voting record on equal rights surpasses the Labour Prime Ministers, and who’s intake of homosexual MP’s and Councillors is unrivaled.
