"George and the Drag Queen" by Pipeline Theatre
"George and the Drag Queen" by Pipeline Theatre

A 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?

Pipeline Theatre have an incredible pedigree of theatrical storytelling and were selected from over 50 other theatre companies by Take Art and the other South West rural touring schemes to support the development and a national tour of their new show "George and the Drag Queen".

Check out this montage of Pipeline Theatre's previous work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JgV3W4UYnk to see why they have gained numerous 5* critic reviews and why you don't want to miss their provocative, funny but ultimately life-affirming new show.

Trigger warning: contains scenes of empathy and mutual understanding.
