Productions

Romeo + Hamed 

Romeo and Hamed is a bold queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy by Scott Horgan, set in Croydon, where Romeo and Hamed’s intense connection challenges faith, family and expectation. Their love burns through rave-fuelled chaos and lyrical verse, exploring identity, religion and belonging, asking if we are free to love.

2nd - 6th September
Riverside Studios 

Spin Cycle

‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ meets ‘The L Word, in this bittersweet, absurdist launderette meet-cute.  This Off West End award-winning play examines the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, dirty and clean clothes.

The Glitch Theatre

5th - 31st August
Clover Bistro Square (Edinburgh Fringe) 

The Last Halloween of Diablo

Married lesbians Ruth and Zadie celebrate Halloween by wishing they could kill each other.  Their annual 'Spooktacular' party spirals desperately out of control thanks to seven years of simmering resentments, a mysterious Transylvanian beauty and a disembowelled clown called Diablo. Gone Girl meets Inside No9 meets Roald Dahl's The Twits.

8th - 10th June
The Hope Theatre

All of Them, Dead

In a global pandemic caused by infected meat, two boys find they're much less alone than they thought. All Of Them, Dead is a play about being young, gay and working-class in the middle of nowhere. 

25th - 26th June
Chats Palace Theatre

+ UK Tour

Baleen

Deep underwater, deep in the stomach of a whale, sit two people huddling around a small campfire. All they have is the old stories they tell. Stories from home, stories of magic, loves lost, and lives saved.

Jamaican stories that they tell over and over again.

What happens when the whale takes another soul? When someone gate-crashes their stories?

1 -3 June
Hope Theatre

Thou Shalt Sit the F**k Down

Following a sold-out run at Lambeth Fringe and with 5* feedback from 75% of voluntary audience, Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down returns as a filthy, unhinged and unapologetically queer dive into the world of children’s entertainment, mental health, and absurd expectations placed on those who perform for a living.

2-6 June 
Bread and Roses Theatre

4-5 July
Queer Comedy Club

Age of the Hero 

An adaptation of Homer’s Iliad, Age of the Hero is a concert style musical that follows the beginning and end of the war in Troy. Featuring an original pop-rock soundtrack, Age of the Hero is a retrospective of the epic woven with contemporary queer interpretations of the text.

17 - 18 June
Phoenix Arts Club

That's Ace

Ace has been invited clubbing for the first time by her school crush, Sasha. As the club slowly fills with people and she waits for Sasha to arrive, she tries to determine whether her feelings for Sasha are romantic or platonic.
That’s Ace explores asexuality, attraction and the feeling of living outside of societal norms.
