Acclamied theatre company, Out of Joint are bringing their production of 'Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage' about Welsh rugby legend, Gareth Thomas to Exeter's Northcott Theatre this May.

The eve of one of the biggest games of his life Gareth Thomas recieved a warning from the Sun newspaper that they were going to ''out'' him as gay. 

This play tells the story of how he was not beaten by the media speculation. After getting 100 caps for Wales, he is now the world's best known gay sportsman. His hometown, Bridgend has fallen victim of intrusion following several deaths of young residents. 

The Times newspaper called the play ''Staggeringly moving'' and Wales Online say it is ''...an uplifting story of hope.''

Directed by Max Stafford-Clark.
