We’re big fans of TuckShop’s work here at GAY TIMES – we’ve been to check out various iterations of their delightfully daft all-drag murder mystery Death Drop as well as pantomimes of Cinderella (2019, with Baga Chipz) and Dick Whittington (2021, with Kitty Scott-Claus and Cheryl Hole).
Back for 2023, for one week only at London’s Harold Pinter theatre, we have an all-drag, adult-only take on Sleeping Beauty.
From Drag Race UK we have have Michael Marouli, Kate Butch, Victoria Scone and Kitty Scott-Claus; supporting them are a host of TuckShop kings and queens – Ophelia Love, Yshee Black, Kemah Bob and LoUis CYfer.
It’s far from the slickest show we’ve ever seen, but our stars lean into this for some enjoyably silly results. Kate Butch, as Queen Camilla, asks us to join in with a song, promising it will be “chaotic and under-rehearsed” – she’s not wrong, but that’s part of the charm.
