SELL out LGBT play is back by popular demand with transfer to Epstein Theatre...
Yes, fresh from its sell out debut run at the Lantern Theatre last month, the
exciting new play:- 'The Ruby Slippers' has now transferred to the Epstein Theatre
for 2 performances by popular demand and tickets are already on sale.
'The Ruby Slippers' is a play about love, friendship, identity and prejudice
within the LGBT community, taking theatregoers on a rollercoaster of emotions.
The show will run at the Epstein Theatre on Saturday, 5 November 2016 with 2
performances at 6pm and 9pm.
Raz is on top of the world, owner of his paradise drag club:- 'The Ruby
Slippers'.
He has met Ryan, the man of his dreams, however all is not as it seems. Business
is poor and a rival club has opened which threatens to not only steal Raz's
customers, but also his star acts, Drag Queens Phoenix and Destiny. Also Ryan has
a secret that will change everything.
The 2 act comedy drama comes from writers Emma Culshaw and David Paul and
directed by Jackie Downey, it explores a subject rarely seen on the theatre
stage.
Writers Emma Culshaw and David Paul commented:- "When creating 'The
Ruby Slippers'
our main aim was to write an honest story that showed the highs and lows of
being in love when there are difficult obstacles to cross. The play also tackles
transgender issues and we hope audiences enjoy what we have set out to achieve,
by creating a play full of compassion, humour and outrageous 1 liners, but with
a strong underlying message."
The talented cast is led by James Rogerson as Raz and Jamie Paul as Ryan, they
are joined by Debra Redcliffe (Helen), Emma Vaudrey (Laura), Owen Richard Farrow
(Destiny) and Jordan Simms (Phoenix).
The show is created by Break A Leg Production in association with Bill Elms.
Co-producer Bill Elms said:- "It has been a pleasure to follow the journey of
this show from the page through to the stage, and watching the audience reaction
to a great piece of accessible work. I believe this show will go far, it has all
the elements for a great night out of the theatre, a great script, great comedy
and most of all a great storyline. I am delighted to be a part of its growth, we
now move on to the Epstein Theatre for a full scale production and have more
plans further field."
Raz is hopelessly in love with his flat mate and barman, Ryan. The feeling is
mutual. However, Ryan has a secret, known only by his mother Helen, who supports
her son's decision and encourages him to tell Raz the whole truth.
So put on your high heels, slap on your lipstick and get ready to strut your
