The cliché about gay relationships is that everyone is cheerfully shagging around,
so anyone in a more old-fashioned, monogamous pairing might well feel like they're
missing out on something. Jake Brunger's
Four Play looks at two gay couples
in their twenties, a generation that's always had the option of civil partnerships
and now marriage, for whom a traditional relationship is as much of an expected
option as something a bit kinkier. Rafe (Cai Brigden) and Pete (Michael Gilbert) met
at university, came out together and have been a monogamous couple for seven (and a
half - it's an important distinction to Rafe) years. It means neither of them has
ever slept with anyone else and, although they still insist everything is fine
between them, they think a one-off with someone else might be the thing the shake
off any seven-year-itch.
