Gangsta Baby (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739773960)

Hastings, for rent boy/escort Junior and his graffiti artist trans half-brother Pete, is home. It's a neglected working class town on England's south coast, quiet except for the odd street brawl or two, where the views are epic but the water is brown, and opportunities - or anything to do - are far away. In the middle of a session with a client, Junior's thuggish absentee dad pops up out of the blue. Where has he been? Why does he want his son back? Why now?

Gangsta Baby is a deep, dark dive into the world of sex-work, drugs, internalised homophobia, betrayal, and the desperate need for love in the criminal classes.

This version of the text is of the September 2025 production, at Open Space Arts, Chicago, at which Gangsta Baby received its US premiere. An earlier version was presented at the Hope Theatre, London, in 2024.
