On this, Tabby states: “I started writing Happy Meal during lockdown, when trans people were more often than not isolating alone or in unsupportive environments. This one goes back to the days of dial up and MSN, and follows two teens into their adulthood, from MySpace to TikTok, from cis to trans in a hilarious, nostalgic story of transition. Directed by Jamie Fletcher and produced by Roots and Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with ETT and Oxford Playhouse, this isn’t one to miss. Next up, there’s Happy Meal from Tabby Lamb, a joyously queer rom com.
This show is comprised of verbatim sex stories and anarchic punk songs, with the project representing a wider rebellion against sex-related shame. By chatting about queer sex as much as possible, they hope to bring about a sexual revolution of sorts. Want to explore what queer sex can do for you and for wider humanity? Plaster Cast Theatre is presenting the world premiere of Delicious Fruits at the Pleasance Dome, starring Ayden and Lizard, who want to be cool, sexually liberated teenagers but struggle amongst their cis, straight peers. Brace yourselves – there’s a hell of a lot of queer content on this year! Have your diaries at the ready. This year, there’s an array of LGBTQI content up for grabs, including WILF at Traverse Theatre, queer superstar ALOK and The Last Return from Sonya Kelly. It’s almost that time of year again! The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the world’s largest arts festival, and it’s returning from 5-29 August 2022.
