We have many fond memories of the queer pantos that used to play every festive season at the Above the Stag theatre in Vauxhall, which sadly closed its doors last year.
There was no pantomime from the team behind those shows last Christmas, although some of the creatives put on the amusing Ghosted – a queer comedy take on A Christmas Carol – at the Other Palace last December.
This year, the team are back under the guise of production company He’s Behind You! – a wonderfully suggestive, if unsubtle, moniker – at a new home, the Charing Cross Theatre.
It all feels reassuringly familiar – the rumble of trains overhead at Charing Cross reminiscent of those we used to hear in Vauxhall (fear not, they don’t detract from proceedings).
