The first UK gay wedding?
A brand new LGBT group has formed during 2013 in Walsall, West Midlands.
BENT productions, an amateur issue based LGBT theatre group, have written their
own „Adult Only‟ Pantomime titled A-Lad‟in Tights!
The pantomime is the story of A-Lad‟in; how he „comes out to his mom‟, falls in
love with the Prince and after gay marriage is legalised by the emperor he finally
gets to marry his prince.
Performance dates 31January & 1February 2014, at Pelsall Community Centre, Pelsall, Walsall.
Tickets are available now at £7.
Proceeds are going to help Bent‟s future initiatives and to a local project, „Beginnings‟, which helps
young LGBT people that find themselves homeless
due to discrimination from within their own family.
Future projects will include anti-bullying
performances for primary schools, LGBT acceptance
and awareness productions for high schools and
youth groups and a myriad of productions for the
wider community that promote LGBT issues and
social acceptance
Pantomime Synopsis:Deep in the heart of the Black Country lives Madame
Spanky, who runs a most disreputable knocking shop
at the edge of town. Despite the establishment‟s
popularity with many of the local politicians,
businessmen and bankers, the business has fallen
on hard times...and not the sort of hard time that can
benefit the sex trade.
A‟Ladin and Wishy, Madame Spanky‟s son and
daughter work for the family business and do all they
can, in all sorts of angles and positions, to improve
the businesses balance sheet.
Madame Spanky yearns for the day that her son
finds a girlfriend and settles down, however, she does not realise (even though it is extremely
obvious!) that A‟ladin is gay and longs to find the man of his dreams.
Will A‟ladin find true love? Will Madame Spanky accept her son for who he is? And will the family
business survive? The answer to all these questions will be revealed in the hilarious pantomime, for
adults, A-Lad‟in Tights........
