"I made the dress, I did my own hair and I put the make-up on myself. Yes I put woman’s makeup all over my face. I go to this club down a back street and there's this fella named Keenan. I don’t care if Satan drags my soul into hell; I'm going to see how far this rabbit-hole goes."

It’s 1981 Northern Ireland. 17 year old Davy has two choices: a slow, torturous demise dressed in a pin stripe suit or a violent death being ripped to shreds by Mena Town’s skin heads. But salvation comes in a single strapped, home made dress to make him Debbie Harry Gorgeous.

A play about difference, love, sex, violence, and a seventeen-year-old, cross-dressing DEBBIE HARRY.

Tues - Sat, 7.30pm, Sat & Sun, 2pm
