Fresh from the release of their debut book None Of The Above and touring with Jonathan Van Ness across Australia and New Zealand, Travis Alabanza’s newest theatre offering Sound Of The Underground spotlights London’s iconic underground queer club and nightlife culture.
The past two years have seen Alabanza cement themselves as a genre-defining theatre-maker, with hit after hit, taking trans stories and allowing them to shine in their own nuanced, beautiful way.
In 2021, their play Overflow, starring Reece Lyons and directed by Debbie Hannan, was set in a women’s bathroom and has been performed in London and Australia, being heralded as “a future classic” by the Evening Standard.
It shone a light on the community found in nightlife and flipped the narrative of trans panic in gendered spaces. This all coming off the back of a sell out worldwide run of their breathtaking show Burgerz, it’s a privilege to be a viewer of the work that Alabanza is sharing with the world.
