Cake by Bryan Washington

Continuing the Swipe Right series of contemporary love stories, American writer Bryan Washington tackles the loneliness and longing of two men living alone in locked-down Houston.

Two men meet in a bar shortly before the covid pandemic locks down Houston, Texas.
Both single-ish, both wary, but drawn to eachother, they swap mobile numbers and go their separate ways. After weeks of locked-down isolation they tentatively make contact over the phone, play eachother music and, finally, arrange to meet, irl.

Continuing the Swipe Right series of stories examining contemporary romance on and off the dating apps, American writer Bryan Washington's original short work 'Cake' masterfully captures the pain and poignancy of love under lockdown.

Written and read by Bryan Washington, multi-award winning writer from Houston.
He is currently adapting his two previous works, Lot and Memorial, for television.

Produced by Karen Holden
