"THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! It is superbly written and wonderfully acted, what a story and a journey, so funny and moving and honest. Just brilliant!!" - Playwright Penelope Skinner
Despite Lucho’s best efforts to lay low and keep his head down, he can’t seem to go a day without getting teased or beaten at school. But after he comes across Cassandro: the "Liberace of the Lucha Libre", Lucho discovers that the solution to his problem lies within the world of Mexican Wrestling. Testosterono is born - and he's here to win.
This funny and heartfelt one-man show is an unpacking of why Lucho's fighting, how he got there, and why he’s wearing a mask. The story is told bilingually through the lens of Mexican Wrestling and golden-age Disney Channel.
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.
