Oooooh, we're in a book! π
This came through the post today. Was delighted to discover that @QueerLadyM is discussed in the last chapter. Thank you @GemmaAllred @Ben_Broadribb @_ErinSullivan_. Such a thoughtful response to @ShanePGMLynch's performance online in lockdown. Let us know if you'd like to chat.

I wrote the intro to this book about contemporary drag - itβs packed with insight from clever academics. Recommended read - one copy for the handbag, one for the toilet.

Rewatching this Macbeth is reminding me of the brilliant intertextuality of the 'unsex me here' speech in @1623theatre's @QueerLadyM - such a powerful, personal one-person show from Shane Gabriel #BSA2021WP youtu.be/sYnrusb7bsM

Ah yes - the Macbeth cartoon on the telly in Grandma's living room, on VHS from the corner shop. Shane studied the physicality of the animated Lady Macbeth closely with choreographer Kitty Winter and based @QueerLadyM's movements on her. πΉπ β at Derby, England

A year ago today we performed @QueerLadyM live for the last time, at @SlungLow in Leeds - who knew then just how our lives would change? You can now watch the show recorded online with captions at bit.ly/QLMZoomCap, and with audio description at bit.ly/QLMZoomAD. π

It is a fucking JOY watching queer actors play queer roles in a queer written drama about queer lives.

We played @QueerLadyM at @century_theatre and @slung_low, before Covid-19 stopped the rest of the tour. On the night we were meant to perform at the next venue - @arena_theatre - we live-tweeted the script with show photos. See bit.ly/QLM_Live-Tweet. (2/6)

Aww well this a proper heartwarmer! Thanks @Alphabetti Dunno if it's cheating as it technically started in 2019, but @BonnieBonnettes NYE show was a highlight for me!
We've been closed for most of this year, but before March we hosted some incredible shows - Matt Miller's (@MattMiller2805) 'Fitting' is part of our Best of 2020. What's in yours?
