I Wouldn't Wish the Eighties on Anyone!
A queer bedtime story...
Meet Victor, a troubled young man with a terrible secret he needs to get off his chest.
Set in the Eighties, when the AIDS epidemic was at the forefront of everyone’s minds, ‘I Wouldn’t Wish the Eighties on Anyone!’ is a deliciously queer mix of comedy, drama and horror. So back comb your hair, break out the 8-track tapes and prepare yourselves...Victor has something he needs to tell you (cue sinister laugh).
