    About this ebook

    The powerful debut play from Alexi Kaye Campbell, winner of an Olivier Award, the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright, and the John Whiting Award for Best New Play.

    Alternating between 1958 and 2008, The Pride examines changing attitudes to sexuality, looking at intimacy, identity and the courage it takes to be who you really are.

    The 1958 Philip is in love with Oliver, but married to Sylvia. The 2008 Oliver is addicted to sex with strangers. Sylvia loves them both.

    This new edition of the play was published alongside its revival at the Trafalgar Studios in the West End in 2013.

      Beautiful story about the raw ideas of self acceptance, self-identity, sex, love, torment. As someone that has gone through many difficult times in regards to my self identity, this story keeps you on your toes, throwing another grenade at you even after you’ve already started exploding. Campbell is a wonderful playwright and after this play i plan to read more of his works.
