Commissioned by Contact as part of Queer Contact Festival
Co-written by Gemma Bradley with support from Jackie Hagan
‘Refreshing in its honest rejection of fixed definition, this show is definitely one to watch out for.’ // MANCHESTER MULE
Fusing spoken word and theatre, Gender Theory, Judith Butler And Other Bedtime Stories Or Queer… (In Theory) is a tongue-in-cheek, examination of life after queer theory. Siobhán is a loudmouthed queer radical who dreams of sex parties in squats and leading the war against normality. She’s a vegan street-warrior fighting the good fight and sleeping with as many queers as possible… only… she’s married…and monogamous…has a weakness for cheese… and she just ate a big mac for the first time in five years.
Gemma announced she was a vegetarian at four, a feminist at ten, and an out and proud lesbian at twelve. She’s a hit on the threesome scene and has spent the past five years bed-hopping between genderqueers and intellectuals. But here’s the thing. Gemma has suddenly found herself smack-dab in the middle of a mortgage and a monogamous relationship with a heterosexual man…an actual honest-to-goodness lager-swilling, death metal loving lad.
Are Siobhán and Gemma still queer (in theory)?
