London’s latest theatre opens at Battersea Power Station with Drew McOnie’s revival of Harvey Fierstein’s landmark play about drag queen Arnold Beckoff who is looking for love in New York in the 1970s. It’s the pared down version of the 1982 original (which ran to over four hours) and this version has recently had a run in New York. It will be interesting to see how the play stands up in the era of gay marriage and changed attitudes towards homosexuality.

About Torch Song

The Turbine Theatre’s inaugural season opens with TORCH SONG, a new revival of Harvey Fierstein’s dizzyingly funny and deeply touching landmark play, directed by Olivier Award-winning Drew McOnie (King Kong, Strictly Ballroom, On The Town) The groundbreaking and Tony Award-winning story of drag queen Arnold Beckoff and his quest for true love in 1970s Manhattan is a hilarious and heart breaking portrait of love, loss, sexual identity and the deep longing for family approval that drives us all forward, and drives us all crazy.
