My Night with Reg (film)

My Night with Reg is a 1996 British film adapted from the Kevin Elyot play of the same title, and directed by Roger Michell, who had directed the play on stage. The film marks the beginning of Michell's career in film.

Entirely set among London's gay community in the mid-1980s against the background of the mounting AIDS crisis, My Night with Reg follows the ups and downs of a circle of gay friends over a period of several years. One of the group, the Reg mentioned in the title, is not a character in the play but the whole plot revolves around his apparent promiscuity and the chain reaction of deception and betrayal set off by it.
