Do you believe in love at first sight?
Will didn't. It was just something people said to sound romantic at weddings and that. Though he'd not felt it himself, he was pretty sure love itself was a thing, it just wasn't, you know, the Cupid's-arrow/heart-eyes kind of love. He didn't even think he was missing out on anything; he was happy with his lot - a decent job, a good group of mates to get plastered with every weekend... even living with his mum and Great Aunt Toadface wasn't that bad, really. He was fine.
Until he sees Candy.
One look at her and his whole world turns upside down. And no, Candy's not her real name. Candy is his old schoolmate, dressed to the nines in thoroughly convincing drag. But to Will, she's another person entirely. An epiphany. A revelation. A woman.
Candy tells the story of Will as he attempts to make sense of his newfound feelings, and everything he thought he knew about himself is brought into question. It's a one-man comedy-drama about identity, masculinity, mental health, sexuality and, most importantly, love.
