MTFestUK 2026 - Tristan

Written by Matt Jones Composed by Kele Okereke Tristan is charming, gorgeous and can sweep you off your feet. He?s also a liar and fantasist. What makes a man like Tristan? If that?s even his real name. Nick and Philly are both in love with him. Unfortunately, they know nothing about the existence of the other. Why do we fall for the Tristans of this world? What makes us vulnerable to their charms? Tristan offers both Nick and Philly a vision of a future more attractive and romantic than the lives they are currently living. Only when they both end up in the same room, will they discover the lie they have been sold. All performances as part of MTFestUK 2026 will be presented in an abridged workshop format, with scripts in hand.
