“But I don’t want to be a wrestler!” says Gruff Dryll: “I’m a super-serious gayboy poet: I care about truth, and wrestling is all fake and SUPER-heterosexual.”
Rezi slaps him, and furrows her butch brow: “But you’ve got to. This is our chance to stand out, get respected… and do loads and loads of sexy glam violence obviously.”
‘Babyface’ is the rags-to-spandex story of two tender queer souls climbing the ranks of an industry where selling your persona is everything. Fusing musical theatre and pro-wrestling (yes, with ACTUAL wrestling in an ACTUAL ring!) it’s a laugh-out-loud thrill ride that asks: in a polarised world, what happens when your need for community conflicts with your urge to WIN?
Blood, sweat, tears and glitter will fly!
