- Winner of the Samuel Beckett Award - 1983
Funny, fresh and packed with razor-sharp wit, Kevin Elyot's landmark drama questions the nature of fidelity and the limits of love. Winner of the Samuel Beckett Award.
Tony and Greg have love all figured out. They're in a committed relationship, with room for a little sex-on-the-side whenever it takes their fancy. Their only rule? Never sleep with the same man twice.
Then drop-dead gorgeous Robert walks into their lives, and nobody plays by the rules.
Coming Clean was first seen at the Bush Theatre, London, in 1982. This edition was published alongside the thirty-fifth-anniversary production, headlining the King's Head Theatre's 2017 Queer Season, and directed by Artistic Director Adam Spreadbury-Maher.
Coming Clean is also available in the volume Kevin Elyot: Four Plays.

Sunday Times'In time, it will be recognised as the first mature play about homosexuality'
Mail on Sunday'Deliciously crass and unbridled... Elyot is one of the masters of writing queer theatre and presenting honest uninhibited queer characters... brilliantly well-written'
