Drag Baby

Dan, a misanthropic drag queen in his mid-thirties, only has one thing on his mind – to get on tv and become famous. That is until he’s visited by Sally, his only ever girlfriend who asks him to donate sperm so she and her now girlfriend can have a baby. As Dan grapples with the decision, the pair grow closer and have to confront their respective pasts and the reasons why they became estranged. Drag Baby is a tender play that infuses drag acts into the narrative, using comedy, dance and music to tell an intimate story about friendships, growing up, and how to create your own family as a queer person.

Drag Baby was developed with support from Arts Council England. It was performed at Kings Head Theatre on 17th and 18th April.

Reviews for Drag Baby:

“Grace Carroll has written a terrific piece of theatre with ‘Drag Baby’. She has managed to create a contemporary piece of work that is conversational, realistic, witty and sometimes brutally honest. All her characters are heavily flawed and raw and sometimes quite unlikeable but that only adds to the sincerity of the piece, we all know people like this and yet we love them dearly.” ★★★★ ½-London Pub Theatres

“ A Fully formed, beautifully crafted story brought to the stage by an incredibly talented cast. ★★★★★ - LondonTheatre1
