a THEY IN A MANGER

2023

COMMISSIONED by wardrobe and sons theatre company

Christmas can be complicated. And for queer people, often even more so. It can present to some of us the unsettling and dangerous challenge of how to 'perform' ourselves. A They In A Manger aims to blur the lines between domestic stages and performance stages, and to celebrate the importance of queer community and the survival of our authentic selves.

“exquisitely written and beautifully performed, this is a hymn to the power of music to bring light into queer lives” 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - the reviews hub

“A lyrical portrait of the liberatory power of song against a backdrop of repressive Irish church life” - Adventures in theatreland

“Danielle James, a playwright, actress and drag performer, sings gorgeously and delivers a comparatively dense monologue on the repressive silence of the church, turning instead to the erotic power and force of sound” 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Whatsonstage
