A Guide For The Homesick follows two strangers, Teddy (Samuel) and Jeremy (Booth), away in Amsterdam. One is searching for a friend for the night – the other, a beer. But despite being seemingly worlds apart, these two strangers are destined to find one another. Can they overcome their own secrets and doubts, and confess their greatest fears to one another?
Award-winning American writer Ken Urban pens A Guide For The Homesick, while Jonathan O’Boyle (Rain Man, UK tour) directs.
A Guide For The Homesick is playing at Trafalgar Studios 2 until 24 November.
