"Thought-provoking, funny, sexy and entertaining" 4**** British Theatre "Endlessly engaging" 4**** Culture Fix

The MP, Aunty Mandy & Me explores consent, coercion and grooming within the gay male community with biting humour and contemporary social commentary. It is co-produced by We Are Survivors; supporting male victims/survivors of sexual violence

Meet Dom. He wants more than anything else to be an #instagay #influencer but it’s tough when no one likes your posts, you can’t find a bloke who shares your love of trains and you live with your MDMA popping, Simply Red loving mum in a small northern village five miles from the nearest gay. He’d love a fabulous life with the A-Gays in the city, but his social anxiety prevents this from being a reality. It’s all a bit of an effort. 

Then one day, a chance encounter with his local MP turns everything upside down. But in pursuit of the life he thinks he wants; just how much does Dom have to give up?

The MP, Aunty Mandy and Me is the new play by award winning writer and performer Rob Ward (Gypsy Queen, Away From Home), Directed by Clive Judd (Rails, Captain Amazing, Little Malcolm And His Struggles Against The Eunuchs) and presented by Emmerson & Ward Productions and We Are Survivors in association with Curve. Emmerson & Ward would like to thank Jamie Gaskin and Ken Coney for their continued support on this project.

Please note, this show contains strobe effects, strong language and scenes of a sexual nature that some may find triggering.
