As we enter the theatre space in dim light, we see a figure on the stage, sitting on a chair. A body, a human body. A male human body. An ‘effeminate’ male human body. Attributes noted: long legged, skinny ribbed, strong bone structure, light brown skin. Almost naked, dressed just in red underpants, red high […]

It’s a journey through a house and a tale that gathers pace and impact as it travels, as the audience of six twists and turns down the narrow stairs of the ultimate ‘artist’s open house.’ Bom-Bane’s performance café is a Brighton institution […]
