Love is a Drag at Ruby
Slippers
BE amongst the 1st audiences to see
the debut production from new theatre company Break a Leg Productions. The
Ruby Slippers is a play all about love and friendships, full of comedy and
drama, taking theatregoers on a real rollercoaster of emotions.
The show is being piloted at:- The Lantern Theatre, Liverpool, on Saturday,
20 February 2016, with 2 performances, only at 5pm and 8pm, before moving on
to further venues in the region. All tickets are £10.50 and are on sale now.
Raz is on top of the world. Owner of drag club, The Ruby Slippers, he has
met Ryan, who he believes is the man of his dreams. However, all is not as
it seems. A rival club has opened and Ryan has a secret that will change
everything.
This exciting new 2 act play comes from Break a Leg Productions' writers
Emma Culshaw and David Paul, and directed by Jackie Downey. It explores
love, identity, friendship and prejudice within the LGBT community.
Business is poor at The Ruby Slippers. The club is losing
money to a rival drag club in Town called:- 'Nine Inches',
which is not only stealing Raz's punters, but also his star acts, Drag
Queens Phoenix and Destiny. Raz is hopelessly in love with his flat mate and
barman, Ryan. The feeling is mutual. However Ryan has a secret, only known
by his mother Helen, who support her son's decision and encourages him to
tell Raz the whole truth.
So put on your high heels and hold on tight for a riotous, glamourous,
comical, yet emotional evening in The Ruby Slippers nightclub where the
truth is about to be revealed.
Writers Emma Culshaw and David Paul commented:- "When creating The
Ruby Slippers our main aim was to write an honest story that showed the
highs and lows of being in love when there are difficult obstacles to cross.
We have a brilliant, talented cast and rehearsals are going well. And we
cannot wait to premiere the play at The Lantern Theatre in Liverpool next
February, the play also tackles transgender issues and is fitting that we
launch the play as we approach Transgender Day of Remembrance on 20
November 2015. We hope audiences love what we have set out to do, by creating a
play full of compassion, humour and outrageous one-liners but with a strong
underlying message."
The talented cast is led by James Rogerson as Raz and Jamie Christopherson
as Ryan, they are joined by Debra Redcliffe (Helen), Emma Vaudrey (Laura),
Owen Richard Farrow (Destiny), and Jordan Simms (Phoenix).
