A New Era of Queer Performance
This marks the start of a fresh chapter for Seven Dials Playhouse, one that puts artists first. The lineup spans The House and The Pen, fusing hit shows with daring new work. Expect everything from cowboy-clown chaos to a Celine Dion drag extravaganza.
Standouts include ‘Jock Night’, a deep dive into gay nightlife and stigma; BI-TOPIA, a raw exploration of bisexuality and masculinity; ‘Queer Planet’, a drag-king-led, nature-documentary-inspired cabaret about queer animals; and ‘Moira Less: My Heart Will Go On’, a Titanic-sized love letter to Celine Dion.
Queer Stories, Unfiltered
‘Jock Night’, fresh from a sold-out run, brings intimacy, sex, and U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) to centre stage. David Paisley reprises his role in this punchy, poignant play.
Meanwhile, BI-TOPIA takes us through the highs and lows of bisexuality with raw honesty, while ‘Queer Planet’ serves up science, stand-up, and song, diving into the wild world of gay giraffes and intersex snails. For drag lovers, Moira Less brings powerhouse vocals, and BANGTAIL blends rodeo antics with clowning in a wildly entertaining ride.
The Future of Queer Comedy and Theatre
The season also showcases fresh, work-in-progress shows from rising stars like Ania Magliano, Sophie Duker, John Robertson, and Lorna Rose Treen. Think surreal folk-horror comedy, anarchic crowd work, and plenty of surprises.
Seven Dials Playhouse is making a bold statement: queer stories belong at the heart of contemporary theatre. This Pride Season isn’t just a celebration; it’s a revolution.
