🎭 Fixing - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 20:00 - 21:15

🎭 When Matt was little, their dad bought a classic car. A 1952 Sunbeam Talbot Mark II. Dad had ideas that he and Matt would do it up, repair, rebuild together. They never did, and the car festered in a garage.

I mean, Dad had just been through a divorce.

Now in their 30’s, Matt would like to learn how to fix a car engine. They’d like to learn a bit more about Dad, and that time, when Dad and Mum split up. The time when Matt and Dad were closest.

Matt can’t do this alone, which is tricky for a solo show. That’s where Matt’s drag alter-ego Natalie Spanner comes in. She knows all about things that girls like Natalie know about. Like how to build an engine. About maintenance, care and repair.

Together, Matt and Natalie will try to ask, in an increasingly broken world, how might we repair ourselves, together?

❗️ADVISORIES
Sexual references/innuendo, references to divorce, reference to child going missing

▪️AGE: 16+

🌈 Hasbian - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton


Time: 19:30 - 20:30 Price: £13.20

🌈 How did Beth go from a childhood dreaming of The Wizard of Oz, to cringey Cruel Intentions-obsessed adolescence? From proudly identifying as a teenage lesbian, to discovering that boys are also appealing?

▪️AGE:
16+ (parental discretion advised: plot includes sexual activity and alcohol consumption amongst teenagers from 14-16)

🎭 ABOUT
Beth’s real teenage diary is brought to life in vivid hilarity in Hasbian: a “simultaneously relatable and educational… unique insight on growing up queer in the 90s” (★★★★★ - A Young-ish Perspective). Original animations, inspired by teen magazines, feature an all-star 00’s fantasy cast (in cut-out form), as Beth’s BFFs and first crushes are re-imagined as “played by” the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Lyonne and Ashton Kutcher.

Dripping in equal measures with heartfelt earnestness, sharp irony, and humour that bubbles up in the place between youthful confidence and pubescent self-doubt, Hasbian delves behind the rollercoaster of teenage life, into the reality of growing up queer in Brighton (the UK’s Gay Capital) under Section 28 (1988-2003 law, prohibiting teaching “homosexuality as a pretended family relationship”). Set to a soundtrack of y2k pop classics (B*Witched, Destiny’s Child, S Club 7), and indie angst anthems (Placebo, Weezer, Garbage) Hasbian fills audiences with buzzy nostalgia, while exposing prejudice in the most liberal of cities.

From the creators of Queer Diary – the night where LGBTQIA+ adults read their real teenage diaries on stage.

❗️Trigger Warning: Whilst the tone of Hasbian is comedic, it is set in the late 90s/early 00s and contains truthful depictions of attitudes, language, and experiences of the time.

❗️This includes: descriptions of bullying with use of homophobic and biphobic language, sexually predatory/objectifying behaviour, and one description of an incident of physical violence. The show also makes critical reference to contemporary transphobia.
