LGBT Theatre Edges Back to Life

Pippin Musical First out of the gate to produce live LGBT theatre, indeed fringe theatre, was the enterprising producer Peter Bull in association with plucky director, Stephen Dexter. They launched a venue in the pub garden of a gay bar with a revival of FANNY AND STELLA chronicling the adventures of real life Victorian cross dressers.

They've followed this up with a very small scale, critically acclaimed revival of the musical PIPPIN. You can find out more from http://pippinmusical.co.uk/.

Meanwhile at the Above The Stag Theatre, also originally founded by Peter Bull, a revival of the one man show BUYER & CELLAR starring EastEnders' Aaron Sidwell has been announced. Running from 14 October - 8 November with socially distanced bubble seating and face covering required.

Here's how venue are describing it:

An out of work actor is hired for a mysterious job at an undisclosed location – and finds himself working in Barbra Streisand’s legendary street of shops beneath her Malibu home, full of her memorabilia.

Soon he strikes up a rapport with Barbra herself. Is it real friendship, or something else?

A big hit in New York, London and Australia, Jonathan Tolins’ Buyer & Cellar is a hilarious, bitchy and exuberant fantasy about fame.
