SMALLTOWN BOY

‘I want them to see it. To throw it in their faces in all its big, camp, messy glory.’

Brenda Callis new play is a heartbreakingly joyful play about grief, community, and growing up queer in a rural town, explored through the explosive storytelling medium of drag.

In the wake of their boyfriend Leo’s unexpected death, Edie - a drag queen from Bristol - travels down to Cornwall to meet the family they never knew of. Expecting small-town homophobia, Edie instead finds a community they didn’t expect. As Edie’s arrival awakens new emotions and old tensions, drag begins to trickle through this seaside town, and truths begin to pour out.
