    ARCHIVE
    Drag, music and the Bible collide in Miss Gyrus. A journey of self-discovery for a woman resurrected 2000 years ago and a devout boy with a penchant for women’s clothes.

    “You don’t have this eternal future hanging over you and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t judge me for believing in something!”

    Through a catalogue of irreverent songs spanning everything from classical to disco to electro-pop Miss Gyrus recounts living through all of history to the present day.

    Meanwhile Evangelical Christian Josh struggles to reconcile his fundamentalist beliefs and his sexuality - navigating Bible school, Tinder and parental pressure as he tries to assemble his own world view.
    MISS GYRUS is the evocative debut play from Joe Steele - an intricate tapestry of religion, queerness and self-acceptance.

    “British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
