Blowing Whistles will make you laugh, cry and capture your heart.

Straight and gay audiences alike will relate to this heart-felt comedy about being in love, little white lies and internet dating .

Jamie and Nigel are in a long-term relationship, living in Sydney. On the eve of the Mardi Gras party (and their tenth anniversary) they go cruising online and meet a teenager called Mark. The next 24 hours change three lives forever.

A brilliant and poignant comedy that wonderfully captures the dilemmas of modern love.

“So much soul is laid out on that stage that it’s hard not to let it affect you” SameSame.com.au
