#Review: Faun @theatre503 ★★★★

"As analogies go, it’s both clever and amusing, but more importantly, an incredible way to present the complexities of gender identity."

‘Explicitly queer and trans’: the 1580s play that inspired Shakespeare’s cross-dressing love plots - John Lyly’s long-forgotten Galatea – featuring gods, mortals and a highly elastic approach to gender and sex – is being revived at the Brighton festival. We meet the team behind it.

Wickedly funny, astonishingly queer and over 430 years old, John Lyly’s dramatic comedy Galatea upends gender binaries and sheds power structures like they’re merely a change of clothes. Written in the 1580s, the play “gets deep into the DNA of Shakespeare and his contemporaries”, says theatre historian Andy Kesson, but has been largely forgotten.

This spring, as part of Brighton festival, live artist Emma Frankland is leading a daring outdoor, large-scale production of Galatea that blends academic exploration with queer contemporary performance. Adapted by Frankland and spoken-word artist Subira Joy, and edited by Kesson, this is a collaborative celebration of an under-appreciated play and a reckoning with the way early modern texts are treated – too delicately and exclusively, the team argue. Plus, Frankland says with a cool smile: “We’re going to set shit on fire.”

Okay so I saw this on Saturday and it was awesome. A wonderful exploration of sexual shame around coming out as #queer, intimacy and self-discovery. Beca Barton was amazing in her role(s) and I want to keep an eye out for more productions from Alice McKee.

Check out more productions at the King's Head here including a lot of queer writing coming up: https://kingsheadtheatre.com/whats-on

They made Brokeback into a #musical? Sorry, a "play with music". Did someone think "hey, too many dudes turn up thinking it's not gay, we've got to signal it more. Got to make it gayer in some subtle way."

I jest, but I'd go...

#QueerTheatre #London #Theatre #LGBTQ

a day late post for #WorldTheatreDay. there's a particular show that's been on my mind of late due to our current heightened (and harmful) rhetoric around LGBTQ+ community and also around immigration.

Soho Theatre has a play coming up this April that looks interesting!

"When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that starts to grow in the darkness. Now roots are cracking up through the pavement and branches are coming in at the windows, and – as she starts to see things that no one else can – she becomes the focus of some seriously unwanted attention."

And if you're looking for something less explicit, how about this for the #asexual peeps in the audience?:

"Ace has arrived 15 minutes before the club opens because a) she’s never been clubbing and b) on time is late. She must survive the entire night in this hostile new environment so she can meet Sasha – the person who invited her and also her school crush. But is her crush romantic or platonic? And why does everyone keep talking about sex? Ace has never had this dilemma before so it’s all very confusing."

So this is looking super interesting:

"Subversive, humorous and authentic, ‘Rapture’ follows hard-living bar manager Tommy and polyamorous partner-and-girlfriend Kit and Rosy through their intersecting lives in contemporary East London. As events in the present bring past traumas bubbling to the surface, the bonds within this chosen family must shudder and transform if they are to survive."

“It’s 2014, Gay marriage has just been legalised in the UK, and Rowan and their #LGBTQ+ bandmates want to sing it from the rooftops. But their all-girl Catholic secondary school has other ideas. Disbanded and reprimanded, the group has a choice: do they bow down, retreat, and let the school rules divide them? Or, through all the angsty mess of adolescence, do they unite and fight back to make a change?”
The Phase is on this March: https://vaultfestival.com/events/the-phase/

The hit play F**king Men follows ten men through a series of erotic encounters that change their lives in small but significant ways. A modern retelling of Schnitzler’s infamous classic La Ronde, F**cking Men is a fascinating, funny and provocative story of sex, love and connection.

Updated for 2023, it’s performing at Waterloo East Theatre next April: https://www.waterlooeast.co.uk/f-men
