The F**gots and Their Friends Between Revolutions (Manchester International Festival)


  • Manchester International Festival (map)

Step into a world where fables and myths celebrate queer community, friendship and pleasure: a manifesto for survival for the marginalised everywhere.

Based on the 1977 cult book by Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta, The F**gots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a music theatre piece that reimagines the history of the world through a queer lens.

In this adaptation by composer Philip Venables and director Ted Huffman, the original text is taken on a kaleidoscopic journey by a cast of actors, singers and musicians.

Together they conjure up a world on the brink of revolution – expect battle re-enactments crossed with cheerleading, all night raves mixed with lute songs and court dances.
