MY GAY BEST FRIEND is a heady mixture of high camp, melancholy reflection on friendships, and the childhood dramas that haunt us all. Racquell is a fiftysomething would-be diva who works in Boots, but is about to make her stage debut. She’s locked herself in the ladies, furious because her gay best friend Gavin isn’t there to support her; he’s sitting in a walk-in wardrobe, about to become a father with a lesbian couple and a turkey baster...
