ALPHABET RAINBOW –

a Fistful of Queer Plays

written and directed by Nick Myles

“Funny, heartwarming, shocking…” Brighton & Hove News

The Brighton Fringe Festival hit comes to London!

Unexpected, Gripping, True

Fresh from an acclaimed run in Brighton, writer/director Nick Myles presents his latest show: a typically varied and surprising collection of five short plays exploring queer lives today.

It’s not about labels or choosing a letter to identify yourself with. Alphabet Rainbow is simply five slices of exceptional theatrical storytelling. There are laughs, high drama, politics, families of varying shapes, and relationships of all different shades.

Here you’ll meet characters including an unexpected twink, a principled lesbian and a grumpy bi guy, brought to life by a cast of superb actors in perfectly formed plays covering subjects from illicit sex to first love, the trauma of betrayal and the joy of hope.

“Stellar… beautifully crafted and performed. Queer theatre at its absolute best.” ★★★★★ Voice Mag
“Incredibly well-honed scripts… It works on so many levels.” Brighton & Hove News
“Excellent!!!” Nigel May, Brighton Gaydio
