Cabaret, Midsumma Festival

The Rest Is Drag

From queer writing duo Darwent & Gray (‘Bed Reckoning’, ‘The Adulteresses’), ‘The Rest Is Drag’ is a hilarious and heartfelt blend of cabaret and musical theatre, which questions traditional understandings of identity, and the ways in which everyone, even queer people, can restrictively define themselves by labels.

Michael and Claire are a drag queen/drag king double act, best friends, and in monogamous gay relationships. When the pair suddenly find themselves falling in love, they are forced to question where performance ends and their real desires begin.

Starring Jack Beeby (Six Inches Uncut) and Anna Burley (Ira Luxuria), and featuring an entirely original score, ‘The Rest is Drag’ is the polyamorous/pansexual/non-binary musical you’ve been waiting for! Bring your friends! Bring your lovers! Use it to come out to your conservative parents!
