Description Sydney writer Gina Schien has written a play for the end of the century. In one sense it is a play about 'coming out', but it is also about changing relationships and the importance of truth. If relationships are going to survive, they have to be based on truth. Director, Elaine Hudson, notes, "Comfort is always relative, but truth need not divide, it can (fingers crossed) unite."
Relative Comfort is ultimately an optimistic and very funny play about real people, gay relationships and moving forward to the point where it is not what you are but who you are that is finally important.
