"Rob Madge's autobiographical solo show My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is a coming-of-age story that celebrates Madge's experience of growing up queer in a supportive family. It was first performed at the Turbine Theatre, London, on 17 June 2021. The play begins with Madge announcing that they are putting on a show 'about my childhood'. When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their grandma, Granny Grimble. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction, Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula, the costumes went awry, and Ariel's bubble gun didn't work properly. Grandma had a nice time, though. Now, Madge is recreating that parade, with the help of actual video footage from the family archive. The premiere production was directed by Luke Sheppard and designed by Ryan Dawson Laight, with music by Pippa Cleary. It was performed by Rob Madge"--About the play
