Christmas with all the trimmings! Or rather, cuts.
Our fine-dining Tory government has butchered arts funding, cleared the plates of hopeful possibilities, and feasted on the working-class, neurodivergent, queer and ‘othered’ folx.
We've been left without a seat at the table. And yet, against all the odds:
We are surviving... We are serving... We are gifting... A They In A Manger.
Frankie Thompson, creator of smash hit CAttS (Guardian Best Comedy Shows 2022) and co-creator of BODY SHOW (★★★★★ Guardian) is teaming up with Beth Sitek, a producer of HIGH STEAKS (★★★★ The Stage) and supporter of John Travulva (★★★★ Guardian), in the form of Wardrobe & Sons this Christmas.
A They In A Manger is a new theatre experience invented by four live performance artists. It's a celebration of chosen families, queer community and survival of self, in all the ways we choose to express, perform, and simply exist.
An0maly: A transgender pole artist from London, spinning around the intersections of race, gender, pleasure and difference.
Danielle James: An Irish playwright and actress living in East London. She writes about balloons, baked beans, and being trans. Generally irritable.
Len Blanco: Drag king, theatremaker and musician querying social bullshit like the gender binary through singing, pointing, laughing and winking.
Vijay Patel: A performance artist, writer and neurodivergent access consultant. He crosses forms from live art, performance art and queer club/cabaret.
See the show on 14th Dec and join the ultimate festive party throwdown after. With Prinx Silver on the decks to make the yuletide GAY. Prinx (he/they) is a genre-bending trans queer DJ, famously known for channeling sexy & silly in whatever they do. Expect a blend of slutty edits & cheeky club bangers, topped up with reggaeton rhythms, noughties throwbacks, bass-y tracks, and DnB remixes.
A Camden People's Theatre and Wardrobe & Sons Production. Supported by The Roundhouse and funded by Camden People’s Theatre with the support of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, City Bridge Trust and Garrick Charitable Trust.
