If on the first day of Christmas your true love gives you a partridge in a pear tree, what do they give you every other day of the year? Indestructible thrush, clumsy coming outs and brutal break-ups. But why isn’t that part of the song?
Well, it is now.
A pawn in her own life-sized board game, Lila dishes out a smorgasbord of not-so-festive confessions at the mercy of the roll of the dice. Follow her as she laughs, lip syncs and cringes from square to square in a dizzying voyage of queer confusion and chaos.
Get your game-face on. Get ready to unlock the secrets lying within The Not-12 Days of Not-Christmas.
The dice is in your hands.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
