We’ve been big fans of The Turbine Theatre since it opened in 2019 – it’s been a fantastic space offering a platform for new works, many of which have been LGBTQ+ productions, so we were sad to hear it will soon be closing.
The Liar, The Bitch and The Wardrobe will be the theatre’s final production, and it feels like a fitting send off – a queer take on the C.
S. Lewis novel of (almost) the same name, this adult panto proves to be a raucous and high-camp night out. The show is written by Joshua Coley, who wrote last year’s pantomime (based on The Nutcracker) at the same venue.
Not that you’d expect it from a pantomime, but it’s not the smartest or most nuanced of shows – we’re here for silly, obvious gags, and most of them land pretty well.
