HENRY HAMLET'S HEART

A romantic teen comedy-drama in the vein of the smash-hit Love,Simon.Winner of the 2019 Glendower Award.

Henry is neurotic and insecure: academically gifted, but directionless. School captain, but largely unpopular, he navigates the social mires of the private school scene with difficulty and hilarity by hiding behind his enigmatic best friend, Lennon Cane.

A photographer and football star, Lennon lives with his father. He is brilliant at most things, but highly emotionally guarded.

After it becomes apparent that Len has always had feelings for Henry, the two fall in love, with both beautiful and disastrous consequences. Dealing with key themes of friendship, LGBTQI+ rights, first love, and belonging, this is a coming-of-age, coming out story with a twist.
