Teenager Shane (Wil King) has arrived in Sydney's seedy Kings Cross from rural Goulburn and on his second day working in a liquor store meets two customers, Will (Guy Simon) and Peter (Simon Burke).
Shane endures the pangs of coming to terms with his sexuality through his infatuation with Will and his growing friendship with the older, experienced Peter.
'Strangers in Between' is a coming of age play. The stereotypes are a little too cliched at times and King's clingy performance irritates particularly in the first act. The short second act is more restrained allowing the production to improve.
