Cherry Jezebel

The party aint over yet! As long as that music keeps playing, Ill keep dancing! Raw, rude and raucous, Cherry Jezebel is a dazzling new drama. Hilarious and heartbreaking, its a champagne blowout and the hangover from hell, a spin under the glitterball that lands in the gutter. The bass is pounding, the audience are cheering, and Cherry Brandy is blinking back tears. Tonights the night shes finally recognised as the Queen she is, with the crown to prove it. Is this the triumphant moment shes always dreamed of? Behind the mascara, the wigs and the six-inch stiletto heels, all that glitters isnt gold. At least shes always got her best mate Heidi. But growing up queer in Liverpool is grim, and the queer family theyve forged is about to slip through Cherrys nicotine-stained fingers. From the boudoirs to the bathrooms of Liverpools gloriously gobby drag scene, Cherry Jezebel is a riot of lipstick and split lips, of bitching and bruises. Its a play that celebrates queerness while spilling the tea on the pain behind the polish.
