Review: The Faggots and Their Friends Between The Revolutions at Manchester International Festival
In the beginning, there was no such thing as men. But it all went downhill from there for The Faggots and Their Friends.
The vast stage at HOME's main theatre space is a blank canvas for endless creativity throughout the performance which starts with the lights on, making the audience feel involved in the production from the off. Later, the audience actually does become part of the performance as the fourth wall is broken for a sing-a-long as an 'abrupt change in style' takes place halfway through.Arty, but accessible, this Manchester International Festival production is fun while thought-provoking.
To borrow a term from queer culture, this production is all about reading the patriarchy by pointing out its flaws with wit. As anyone who has ever watched RuPaul's Drag Race will attest, reading is fundamental - and done right, it can be funny too. Each actor has their moment in the spotlight, but two stand out more than most. Kit Green assumes the role of leader of the pack, while Yandass amazes the audience with her heartfelt storytelling and surprisingly emotional dancing towards the end.
