Ok , big breaths
Imagine this.
In the small faded mountain/seaside Welsh town of Milky Peaks, Dewi ( Seiriol Davies) a hotel clerk comes out during the towns celebrations at being nominated as Best British Town of the year. His staunchly welsh Friend Mam ( Lisa Jên Brown) spends her time at salsa in an effort to forget her husband wants to leave her and faded, vomit stained drag Queen Pariah Carey ( Mathew Blake) dreams of better things and wants to play the lead in the town’s production of My Fair Lady.
Add to the mix a shadowy property tycoon ( Tanya Bridgeman) a drama coach with a murky past (Miriam O’Brien) and far right Judge of the competition who wants to set the town up to be a centre of a new all white facist community(Sophie Winter)
Are you with me so far?
Now, picture costumes c/o StartlightExpress and Pricilla Queen of the Desert , frenetic musical numbers from the 1980s songs covering dogging, Welsh Folklore, echos of the Nazis in Cabaret , politics, gay culture, sexual identity, big business, racism, sexism, misogyny, and Britishness .
There is even a talking toilet wall and a Welsh dragon ( drag-on gettit ?)
Blink and you will miss a pithy joke and an “ important” message….
It’s funny yet exhausting
Witty but somewhat overwhelming.
It’s a bit like drinking two litres of Coca-Cola after eating 4 chocolate eclairs
I drove home in silence
