Refreshingly centred on a plus-size gay character, this one-man play is truly representative and essential viewing.

Themis Theatre on debut play The Dissent

A technicolour, celebratory queer rom-com.

Whether you enjoy this play – or indeed whether you should risk giving it a go at all – will depend greatly on your taste in theatre. Do you feel a thrill in your bones when an old story is told in a new and “experimental” way? Or do you prefer to lurk instead in the comfortable familiarity of more conventional drama? You know: rounded characters, emotional connection – old-fashioned stuff like that. In Amsterdam, four actors create a story. ...

From the dullness of the day-to-day to the dread of a dystopian downfall, this play is compelling and ominously logical.

A gloriously dark comedy – camp, gory, and thoroughly entertaining.
