Description

Cruise by Jack Holden is a powerful new monologue that celebrates queer culture and pays tribute to a generation of gay men lost to the AIDS crisis. Set in London's Soho in the 1980s, the play tells the story of Michael Spencer's final night on Earth, where he must come to terms with his diagnosis and the gift of life that follows. As the clock strikes zero and Michael survives, he is faced with a daunting question: how can he go on living? This thought-provoking work explores themes of identity, mortality, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. First performed in the West End in May 2021, Cruise has been published to coincide with its production. This edition brings Jack Holden's debut play to readers, offering a unique and moving portrayal of one man's struggle to find meaning in the face of uncertainty.
