ACID’S REIGN

a climate crisis cabaret from Relish Theatre

Developed from an original concept by James McDermott and Rob Ellis, with additional material from Luke Howarth and Evie Fehilly, with music by Joe Beighton, and produced by Morag Davies, ACID’S REIGN made it’s debut in 2023 at VAULT Festival. This version starred drag icons Son Of A Tutu, Scarlett Harlett and Jamie Fuxx, Joshua Oakes-Rogers as Alex Acid, and Mischa Velasco in the role of Air.

ACID’S REIGN will return in 2025, in a brand new version.

Tycoon Alex Acid is returning to the Haus that made them, ready to tear it down and destroy anything and anyone standing in their way, including Mother Nature herself. But Mother won’t sashay away and Acid’s siblings (Sea, Land and Air) are waiting backstage to teach them a long-overdue lesson in environmental responsibility, with the help of a little drag magic. Will Acid reign? Or will they learn to embrace all that Mother Nature has to offer?

ACID’S REIGN is a sustainable drag-cabaret play exploring the queerness of nature, and how the climate crisis impacts LGBTQ+ communities.
