Theatre: The Pride and Wig Out

The Pride, a play by Alexi Kaye Campbell, examines changing attitudes to sexuality over a period of 50 years, looking at intimacy, identity and the courage it takes to be who you really are.

The Philip of 1958 is in love with Oliver, but married to Sylvia.
The Oliver of 2008 is addicted to sex with strangers.
Sylvia loves them both.

Wig Out, by Tarell Alvin McCraney, lets you enter the legendary House of Light, a hyper-glamorous, uber-competitive drag queen refuge where a daughter who was once a son, can find a family.

Drag queen Nina is wooing, as Wilson, the delectable Eric, a de-camped, make-up free 'straight' gay man. How can Nina/Wilson strut the thorny divide between opposite genders and differing worlds?
