He’s Brie, she’s Dairylea. He loves Judy, she likes R ‘n’ B. She’s a mess; he’s got OCD.
This heart-warming comedy stars Anthony Crank (Shameless/Coronation Street) as Joe, the smart talking, acerbic gay guy who’s never lost for a word, but can’t talk about the secret he’s hiding, and Erin Shanagher (Scott and Bailey/The Street) as Shelly - sassy,brassy and scatty but beneath the two inch slap and Primarni, lie deeper insecurities…
This modern fairy tale follows two strangers, as they find that the search for a happy ending can be messy and full of surprises. After too many Lambrinis and a Muppet Movie, Joe and Shelly discover that the line between love and friendship is a fine one and when secrets and lies are thrown into the mix, these threaten to tear their friendship apart forever.
The Rainbow Connection is the tale of an unlikely friendship and the search for a little bit of magic.
