Twinkle by Philip Meeks

November 2002. In a dilapidated theatre dressing room in a town that's seen better days, veteran pantomime dame Harold Thropp prepares to unleash the Widow for a very special event, which promises to be electrifying …

This darkly comic, often poignant, one-man show touches on the art of performance, queer history, the impact of reality TV, and what it means to be “famous”.

Please note: Twinkle contains strong, very strong, and homophobic language, as well as descriptions of violence, sexual acts, the death of a loved one, and brief references to suicide. It is advised that the show is not suitable for under 18s.

The show’s runtime is approximately 80 minutes and will be performed without an interval. There will also be no admittance to latecomers once the performance has begun.
