Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Frank teeters on the precipice of marriage to his beloved Alan, who has given him an ultimatum he must give up the toys and joys of singledom, and donate his fabulous collection of the dresses of iconic divas to the V&A. Amidst continual calls from Alan, his mother, and once (briefly) his father, Frank retreats into a fantasy world where he is The Chairman of The Music Hall. Through the magical portal of his closet door, the divas visit him in turn, aided and abetted by a quartet of Gaiety Girls. Each diva delivers a musical number containing a gem of good, or at least well intentioned, advice. But will frocks or fianc ultimately triumph? Franks Closet is a high-camp, witty and poignant show, framed by the artifice of the musical hall and propelled by the increasingly surreal musical turns of the divas. Franks Closet explores the conflict between fantasy and responsibility, liberty and conformity, with wit and heart, in a way that will chime with anyone whos ever pondered the joys and terrors of a lifetime of commitment.An outr Classic of 21st century British musical theatre. 'A dazzling, kitsch wonder: steeped in cultural history, hilarious, irreverent, triumphant' Time Out, London.
