"They’ve trampled on us queers before but we always pick ourselves up by our jockstraps and keep going. We are a city and a scene that look after its own"
Join us for a rehearsed reading of a new play from Jonathan Larkin (Paradise Bound, Hollyoaks) about love, filth and the drag we all wear to belong.
Cherry and Heidi are drag artists with more years on the scene than you’ve had hot rollers, old school Queens who’ve feathered their nest with glitter, guts and grit. Pearls’ the new walking-art kid on the block searching for connection. What happens when you want to keep on dancing but the music’s stopped? When the only person under the glitter ball who understands is from a different generation that no longer speaks your language?
Cherry Jezebel is about queer family. It’s about outsiders who find each other in the search for acceptance, understanding and safety in what is still largely a straight white world.
