Going in for a hard tackle on football’s last taboo, Away From Home deals with the ugly in the Beautiful Game. It is an edgy, witty, at times tender, and subversively political monologue.
Kyle is comfortable with his life as a male escort until the day he is hired by a premiership footballer and finds himself falling in love. But can Kyle maintain a relationship with a closeted footballer in a country where no top-flight players are out? Can he go on pretending that the homophobia endemic in the game is nothing to do with him? Does he know what a relationship means, when, for him, sex has only ever been a transaction? Does he have the balls to ever tell his friends – and his family – the truth?
