What’s On At The Tav?

The Vauxhall Tavern have got a whole host of new delights coming up in February! Let’s take a sneak peek at some of the plays, events and performers they’ve got in store…

 


Cabaret Roulette

Cabaret Roulette is a new kind of vaudevillian experience, in which artists representing the widest possible array of styles and disciplines are given two months to develop a new act on a single theme chosen in advance by the audience. The eight artists who have accepted the challenge of creating a brand new act based on the theme “Books” are comedy drag performer Virgin Xtravaganzah, neo-burlesquer Elsie Diamond, hooper Helen Orford, puppeteers Twice Shy Theatre, showgirl Ruby Deshabille, torch singer Em Brulee, belly dancer Sarah Stone and chanteuse Anna Lou Larkin!

All led by the Fagin’s favourite pickpocket and scamp, Joe Morose and Lilly SnatchDragon on stage management!

If you ever wanted a theme with a literal infinite number of possible interpretations, this just might be it…

Royal Vauxhall

It’s 1988 and queer London is partying hard under the spectre of AIDS, the scrutiny of the press and the shadow of Clause 28. When Princess Diana dreams of a wild night out away from the long lenses of the paparazzi and the ruthless Royals at the Palace, best buddies Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett know there is only one place to take her: the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.

Only trouble is: how the hell are they going to get one of the most famous faces in the world through the door without blowing her cover? Their night at the Tavern is the stuff of legend. Desmond O’Connor’s irreverent yet insightful new musical reveals that what they learnt about themselves and each other would shock and propel them through the final years of their tragically shortened lives.

Performance Dates: 17, 18, 24, 25 February,

Doors: 7pm, Show: 8pm

Price: £12-15
