Standing on a Nail - A Queer Horror Story

Standing on a Nail: a Queer Horror Story is a terrifying new play written and directed by University of Essex PHD student Noah Alfred Pantano.

One Gay Bar. Five Gay Men. One Creature.

Part of our homegrown studio series, University of Essex PhD student, Noah Alfred Pantano, presents his spooky tale...

On a particularly slow and uneventful night, five gay men soon find themselves surviving against a paranormal creature locked in the bar’s storage closet. They don’t know what it is. All they do know is that it will get out. As the night continues, tension rise as revelations about their messy relationships and own mortality come to a head.
