Tuesday, February 7 - Saturday, February 18: Live To Tell - (A Proposal For) The Madonna Jukebox Musical

Brian has a dream: pitching himself to the Queen of Pop as the author of her glitzy new musical. But when the undetectable reality of HIV rises up, things change quicker than a Ray of Light.

For nearly forty years, Madonna's remained on top by constantly reinventing herself. After years living on HIV meds, Brian wants to do the same. But he can't live to tell a tale of jukebox triumph until he confronts the stigma and side effects of long-term survival.

LIVE TO TELL mashes up queer history and pop artifice into some highly personal Confessions on a Dancefloor. Sure, medicine can suppress a virus, but how do we keep on living? Just like a prayer, this show will take you there.

Thursday, February 9: Live Music - Glastonbury Showcase

Free entry to The Bread & Roses Pub for performances from H Eldritch, Evie Asio and Divided Compass.
