My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) written by and performed by Rob Madge (Oliver!, Les Misérables) and directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, In The Heights) will transfer to the Garrick Theatre, in London’s West End, from 21 October to 06 November 2022.
When Rob was 12, they attempted to stage a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned a wig and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry. Ariel’s bubble gun didn’t even work properly. Grandma had a nice time though.
My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) is the autobiographical story of Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade – and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it!
My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) is at The Garrick Theatre 21st October to 6th November 2022.
