Following a three-month affair between two anonymous men, Boyfriends charts the ups and downs and roundabouts of a modern situationship.
As they swing through four million, one hundred and ninety one thousand possibilities of what they might mean to one another, through time, sex, Madonna songs, nightclubs, period dramas and calorie counting, Boyfriends asks us to ponder on that age-old question: what the f*ck is romance anyway?
Don’t miss the return of this five-star, sold-out, smash-hit from LemonSoap Productions, as they hit the road for their first national tour!
