Beautiful Thing

Beautiful Thing is a play written in 1993 by Jonathan Harvey. In 1996 there was a Channel Four production based on the play, with a screenplay revised by Harvey. Initially, it was only intended for television broadcast, but it was so well-received that it was later released theatrically. It is arguably the first film to show a realistic same-sex romance between two gay teens, and features many homosexual themes.
