Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Hope Theatre: My Gay Best Friend .. Written and performed by Louise Jameson (Eastenders, Tenko, Dr Who, Bergerac) and Nigel Fairs, MY GAY BEST FRIEND is a heady mixture of high camp, melancholy reflection on friendships and the childhood dramas that haunt us all. Racquell is a 50 something would-be diva whos locked herself in the ladies, furious because her gay best friend Gavin isnt there to support her; hes sitting in a walk-in wardrobe about to become a father with a lesbian couple and a turkey baster! witty, articulate and touching. Jameson and Fairs play the duo with love and laughter from the moment the bolshy brassy and spikey Racquell locked in a karaoke refuge of a toilet kicks off proceedings. The beauty is in the writing and the development of the relationship between the well-spoken and sensitive Gavin and the fabulously outspoken and yet fragile Raquell. Both actors were delightful to watch G SCENE As a portrayal of a friendship which is constantly in danger of souring its a very compelling piece a relationship which seems to cover all the bases from deep affection to something like hate My Gay Best Friend is a short, sweet, rather lovely evening of theatre. THE LATEST 7 Box Office opens at 7.00pm for cash sales and collection of pre-booked tickets. The performance lasts 1 hour without interval and contains strong language. No re-admittance once the performance has commenced.
