Daniel’s Husband is a moving evening of queer theatre – review

Daniel’s Husband tells the story of couple Daniel (Joel Harper-Jackson) and Mitchell (Luke Fetherston), who appear to have a perfect life: a wonderful home, successful careers, good friends and a healthy relationship. There’s just one issue: Daniel really wants to get married, while Mitchell really doesn’t. We won’t give the game away, but a major event forces them to face the reality of the rights they do and don’t have as an unmarried gay couple. The cast is completed by Liza Sadovy playing Daniel’s mother Lydia; David Bedella as Mitchell’s…

Beauty and the Beast panto keeps the yuletide very gay indeed this festive season – review

If you weren’t already aware that He’s Behind You! make queer, adults-only pantomime, the subtitle for this year’s show, Beauty and the Beast, is ‘A Horny Love Story’ – which would probably give the game away. Set in the (sadly) fictional Scottish town of Lickmanochers, which of course neighbours Suckmacoch, it is a loose retelling of the classic tale, which many will be familiar with from the 1991 Disney movie. Of course, there’s a fair amount of artistic licence in this adaptation, written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper. We’re…
