Celebrating the joy and chaos of raising a queer child, Midlands born Rob Madge will bring their the award-winning show My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?), To Leicester’s Curve (8-10 July) and Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre (15-17 July) as a testament to the power of unconditional familial love.
When Rob was 12, they attempted to stage a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned a wig and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry and Ariel’s bubble gun didn’t work properly. Grandma had a nice time though.
My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) celebrates the joy and chaos of raising a queer child and is testament to the power of unconditional familial love.
