EMMERSON & WARD AND SAM DANSON PRESENT

BI-TOPIA by Sam Danson

"An emotional, laugh-out-loud, touching and beautiful portrayal of one man’s self-discovery." ★★★★★ The Reviews Hub

“A compelling, captivating performance with excellent comic timing.” ★★★★★ Quays News

An excellent piece that I would recommend everyone to go see. The Mancunion

Danson is a lively and personable actor, with a deft sense of comic timing. Number 9

 BI-TOPIA is a ‘Hilarious, honest and raw’ coming-of-age story, exploring the highs and lows of the Bisexual experience, bravely delving into under-represented links between poor mental health, sexuality and masculinity. 

Join Sam; a self-confessed people-pleaser, in the war room as he embarks on his biggest mission yet. Shame is coming in from the west flank and gay thoughts are sailing in from the east... This is war!
