Pipeline Theatre: George and The Drag Queen
Sydling St Nicholas Village Hall, Dorchester, DT2 9NU
Friday 9th October 2026 7:30PM
Pipeline Theatre presents its brand-new show, 'George and the Drag Queen': a bittersweet, bonkers cake mix of the epic and the geo-political, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly. All set within a typical village fête.
A village fête - bunting, cakes, outsize veg, and wasps. Two bantering first-aid volunteers setting up their tent - George, a stand-in Grandpa for Maddy; and Maddy, a stand-in Granddaughter for George. Oh, and one Lebanese Drag Queen - Eliana Sultana, booked to do the raffle, getting changed in the corner. In a ‘twist of fête’, their stories entwine with explosive results. Why has a Drag Queen been booked for a village fête? What is Maddy's connection with Eliana's boyfriend? Where has George seen Eliana's face before? And just how allergic is Eliana to wasps? Best served with an open mind. Warning - may contain traces of empathy and kindness!
Running time: 100mins plus interval
