Creative team behind premiere of new Brokeback Mountain play discuss the show in new interview

admin, , , ,

We’re super excited for the world premiere of Brokeback Mountain, the stage adaptation of Annie Proulx’s novel, which is currently in previews at London’s @sohoplace theatre and is due to have its official opening night later this week. Many will be familiar with the 2005 stage adaptation – this new version will star Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges in the lead roles, with singer Eddi Reader performing the songs. Ahead of its theatrical release we caught up with the creative team behind the production to find out more about what’s…

Sam Mendes directs Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn in fierce new play The Motive and the Cue – review

admin, , , ,

On paper, The Motive and the Cue sounds like it has all the makings of something truly incredible. Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) directs an impressive cast including Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn, in a new play by Jack Thorne (whose Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been a runaway success on both the West End and Broadway). It’s a fierce and funny new drama concerning Sir John Gielgud’s 1964 Broadway production of Hamlet in which he cast Richard Burton in the lead role – at a time when…

Animal is a bold and brilliant new queer comedy – review

admin, , , ,

We’ve been looking forward to seeing Animal for some time. Written by Jon Bradfield – part of the creative team behind the Above the Stag pantomimes, which we adore – and directed by Bronagh Lagan, who directed Cruise on the West End last year, it tells the story of David, who is gay, disabled and looking for love. He can’t eat, drink or shower by himself, and he’s never been kissed – let alone had sex. Based on a story by Jon Bradfield and Josh Hepple, the show has just…

Stage adaptation of Brokeback Mountain to premiere in London this spring

admin, , , ,

The world premiere of the stage adaption of Brokeback Mountain, a new play with music, is set to take place at London’s new @sohoplace theatre in May. We can’t wait to see how Annie Proulx’s novel – which many of us will be familiar with from the 2005 film adaptation – plays out on stage. The show will star Mike Faist (West Side Story) and Lucas Hedges (Manchester By The Sea) in the lead roles, with Fairground Attraction singer Eddi Reader performing the songs. Ashley Robinson will be making his…

God that’s brilliant! SpitLip on their “quietly queer” West End musical Operation Mincemeat

admin, , , ,

We adore Operation Mincemeat, the ridiculous World War II musical comedy about to open on the West End at London’s Fortune Theatre. As with many events over the last couple of years, our initial plans to check this show out were scuppered by a bout of Covid – but we snaffled tickets to see it a couple of weeks later during its 2021 run at the Southwark Playhouse and awarded it a perfect score. We reviewed it again during its 2022 run at the Riverside Studios and again gave it…

Standing at the Sky’s Edge is a bold, beautiful and brilliant new musical – review

admin, , , ,

Standing at the Sky’s Edge is perhaps one the rarest and most precious commodities – it’s a genuinely excellent new British musical, something to be cherished whenever it appears. With songs by renowned singer songwriter Richard Hawley and a book by Chris Bush, its story is set in the iconic Park Hill estate which overlooks the city of Sheffield; recently redeveloped and with an entirely different demographic of people moving in, it’s a bold, beautiful and brilliant social commentary focusing on class and gentrification. Not only is it genuinely very…

Miz Cracker’s Who’s Holiday is a camp and quirky alternative Christmas tale – review

admin, , , ,

Those familiar with RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Miz Cracker will be aware she’s a clever queen, so we were expecting something a bit higher concept than an average drag show – and that’s exactly what we got with Who’s Holiday. It’s essentially a Dr Seuss story for grown ups: Cracker plays the role of an adult Cindy Lou-Who who gets knocked up by the Grinch and ends up running off and marrying him. We catch up with Cindy after a stint in jail – she’s attempting to throw a Christmas…

Ghosted: Another F***ing Christmas Carol is a wonderfully camp and queer adaptation – review

admin, , , ,

If it wasn’t abundantly clear from the title, Ghosted: Another F***ing Christmas Carol is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Unlike the version we recently caught at The Old Vic, however, this is far from a traditional take – and to be honest, we’re totally on board with that. Written and directed by the same creative team behind the hilarious Above the Stag pantos, this gender swapped and queer retelling sees Ebeneezer Scrooge become Eloisa Scrooge as she’s visited by the trio of fabulously camp ghosts showing her…

“It’s everything you could want from a horror mystery drag thing!” – Willam on Death Drop: Back in the Habit

admin, , , ,

We couldn’t be more excited for the return of Death Drop – we caught the original show in various iterations three times, starring a stellar cast of iconic RuPaul’s Drag Race stars including Courtney Act, Monet X Change, Jujubee and more besides. In the 2021 production at London’s Garrick Theatre on the West End we saw Willam play the lead role; Willam has now returned for all new story Death Drop: Back in the Habit. The show opens this week at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre before embarking on a UK tour…
