Is He Musical by Jude Taylor
An MP Theatricals production
At Curve: 23 Feb as part of DMU Pride
“Gay life in the 1930’s”
It’s 1933 and, between wars, the bright young things are partying. Tucked away in secret locations the gay sub culture of London has its own parties.
Laurence (Barry O’Reilly) and Wilfred (Teddy Hinde) meet up at the Trocadero away from prying eyes. Wilfred is an old hand on the gay scene and is a footman to a lord; Laurence is a wet-behind-the-ears son of a wealthy family and looking for a mentor to steer him through his initiation into gay life. Inevitably they fall out over a man but their friendship endures.
Laurence is a musician and makes a living working in West End shows while Wilfred’s footman is the sexual plaything of his employer.
This is an original musical by Jude Taylor and was work-shopped at Curve in June 2021 and is now back as a fully fledged musical.
The stage is set with a bar and a lounge while there is an onstage trio of musicians, including MD Francesca Fenech, along with a handy screen.
Is He Musical is at The Other Palace, London 25-26th February
