Theatre:
Pipeline Theatre brings you 'George and the Drag Queen'; a bittersweet, bonkers cake-mix of the epic and the outlandish, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly, all set within a typical village fete: bunting, cakes, outsize veg, and wasps.
Two bantering first-aid volunteers setting up their tent - George, a stand-in Grandpa for Maddy; and Maddy, a stand-in Granddaughter for George. Oh, and one Lebanese Drag Queen - Eliana Sultana, booked to do the raffle, getting changed in the corner.
In a ‘twist of fete’, their stories entwine with explosive results. Why has a Drag Queen been booked for a village fete? What is Maddy's connection with Eliana's boyfriend? Where has George seen Eliana's face before? And just how allergic is Eliana to wasps?
Warning: contains scenes of empathy and kindness.
