Lesbian Launderette 

Fringe Programme page 39

 

Based loosely on Shakespeare’s ‘Scottish Play’ “The Lesbian Launderette” started life as a joke but I am glad to say it snowballed into the show it now is.
Involving three gay men, two fag hags, a transvestite, a corpse, a necrophile and a launderette. This musical in one act adapts popular songs from the likes of the Bee Gee’s ‘Tragedy’ to Lloyd Webber’s ‘Don’t Cry for Me’, written in rhyming couplets and is both funny and irreverent.
The cast work very hard on stage, so hard actually they just seem to be having fun and everything is just a big laugh.  The fun element comes over so clearly that the audience start having fun to.  It would be difficult not to enjoy this production and as audiences seem to have caught on early you might have to struggle to get a ticket for the show, but I would recommend you get one if you can.
To get a taster of the show try the High Street as the cast can often be found tempting prospective audiences with tasters from the show.
