Swansea Boy is a coming-of-age play of deep humanity, gentle humour, and unwavering compassion. In 1980s Swansea, a young man discovers his sexuality and finds the courage to tell his parents that he is gay. While finding his way as an artist in London, he reconnects with a young man who becomes the love of his life, only to face heartbreak and loss when he discovers his partner has contracted AIDS.

The play moves from Swansea in Wales to London, England to Morocco where the lovers go to be together until the end.
