Pipeline Theatre brings you their new show, 'George and the Drag Queen': a bittersweet, bonkers cake-mix of the epic and the outlandish, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly.

The setting: A village fête - bunting, cakes, outsize veg, and wasps.
The characters: Two bantering first-aid volunteers setting up their tent - George, a stand-in Grandpa for Maddy; and Maddy, a stand-in Granddaughter for George.
Oh, and one Lebanese Drag Queen - Eliana Sultana, booked to do the raffle, getting changed in the corner.

In a ‘twist of fete’, their stories entwine with explosive results.
Why has a Drag Queen been booked for a village fete?
What is Maddy's connection with Eliana's boyfriend?
Where has George seen Eliana's face before?
And just how allergic is Eliana to wasps?

This play will show how ordinary people can become caught between compassion and prejudice, loyalty and fear, while grasping for understanding and connection.

Pipeline Theatre is a critically acclaimed Cornish company who have been touring nationally since 2013.

This show is supported by the national partnership project Create Tour Connect to help boost touring theatre and develop new writing.

Suitable for those aged 14+
