Writer Nathan also performs his one man play. His acting credits include Black Love (Kiln Theatre), Really Big and Really Loud (Paines Plough) and A Taste of Honey (National Theatre).
Born in Birmingham, he wrote the play as a love letter to his home city. Hear more from Nathan about his inspiration in the Meet the Writer video.
I think it's a rollercoaster of emotions, the main emotion being love!

The play follows Nathaniel, a young man on a journey of self-discovery. He explores Black masculinity through Beyonce lyrics, techno raves and the close bond a man has with his barber.
I always say the emotional journey of the character is very truthful. A lot of people at any point in their 20s have felt those feelings
Nathan on BBC News
Bullring Techno Makeout Jamz is an amalgamation of all my fears, anger, frustration, joy, friendships, and failures from my first ten years of life as an adult
Author’s Note for Bullring Techno Makeout Jamz
Whilst the play explores themes and emotions that are close to the writer’s heart, it's also bursting with joy and humour.
Charming, witty and quietly poignant
