A highly appropriate time to put on a new play about Eurovision which - funnily enough - isn't a musical!!! It most definitely is a comedy.
Well structured and staged the action is all in the flat of Josh a young gay guy trying to find himself and make it as an actor, and over several Eurovision parties held there over the years, with a revolving cast of characters who appear some years but not others - his best female friend Kat an actress and writer, Daz an actor on whom Josh has a crush, Andy who we first see as a stripogram performer and Josh's mum Gina.
The first half is pretty lightweight with lots of jokes and gags, many pretty obvious ones, on Eurovision and gay stuff. Gets more serious in the second half, the action and dialogue tighten up and becomes a more bittersweet affair.
Eurovisions nerds will probably enjoy it most.
On a serious note the Union Theatre owes £120,000 rent from the period under which it had to close down. No reduction, no government help even though it was the government who forced them to stop working. Disgusting.
