George and the Drag Queen
October 3 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
£14A bittersweet, bonkers cake-mix of the epic and the outlandish, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly.
The setting: A village fete – bunting, cakes, outsize veg, and wasps.
The characters: 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.
The drama:
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?
