I wrote the intro to this book about contemporary drag - it’s packed with insight from clever academics. Recommended read - one copy for the handbag, one for the toilet.

@finty_williams @MxBenSpiller Lots of love. xxx

@MxBenSpiller @ace_midlands @TheRSC @1623theatre @ace_national Until her final scene, when she’s sleepwalking. Near the end, she takes in a deep breath through her nose - (Shane breathes in, then gives out a long primal scream). The grief, the loneliness, the need to be needed. And I totally got that.

@MxBenSpiller @ace_midlands @TheRSC @1623theatre @ace_national Summoning and channelling the spirits that live in the play. On cue, Judi rises for her first scene. Black headscarf, black shift dress. Small. Powerful. Tense. So tense. Head first then body. So tense. All the way through. [2 of 3]

Rewatching this Macbeth is reminding me of the brilliant intertextuality of the 'unsex me here' speech in @1623theatre's @QueerLadyM - such a powerful, personal one-person show from Shane Gabriel #BSA2021WP https://t.co/ityldtUjzu

[1623 theatre company @1623theatre]

@Ben_Broadribb @QueerLadyM @BSA_Conference Ah yes - the Macbeth cartoon on the telly in Grandma's living room, on VHS from the corner shop. Shane studied the physicality of the animated Lady Macbeth closely with choreographer Kitty Winter and based @QueerLadyM's movements on her. 🌹🐍

"I wanted to explore themes of queer isolation and change the project so it could be relatable to the new world, within these ‘unprecedented times’."
