Patch's dream to finally find himself a boyfriend kicks up a notch as two new mysterious members join his drama club in this laugh-out-loud funny, sparkling debut romcom from actor and comedian Harry Trevaldwyn.
First there was Bridget Jones. Then there was Georgia Nicolson. Now get ready to meet Patch Simmons . . .
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is the hilarious rom-com debutfrom rising star Harry Trevaldwyn, perfect for fans of Heartstopper.
Patch has decided that this is the year he will get a boyfriend, so it's goodbye to his French pen-pal Jean-Pierre and hello to the world!
Unfortunately, the only other "out" boys in his school year are dating each other, so finding a boyfriend isn't going to be easy . . . Until fate finally intervenes and two new mysterious boys join drama club: Peter, who’s just moved from New York (very chic) and his best friend, Sam.
Patch is confident that one of them will be his first boyfriend. So, armed with his over-supportive best friend Jean and an alarming level of self-confidence, Patch sets out to make his mission a success. Whether or not they actually like boys or him is a problem for later.
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud comedy about boldly being yourself and never losing sight of who truly has your back.
