Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes

When banks and sandwich shops have more pride than we do, where can we go to be with our tribe?

It’s 2022. There’s a rainbow flag in every high street window, and no lesbian bar. Enter The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs: a lesbian choir on a mission to unite a disparate and dwindling community. Led by a world-weary conductor, the choir flirt, gossip and attempt to sing their way onto the main stage at Pride.

But harmony is more easily dreamt than realised in this heart-warming and musical Soho comedy about love, queerness, and belonging.

Supported by the Cara Delevingne Foundation

Photography by Holly Revell

Note: The running time includes an interval.

This show includes depictions of homophobia, transphobia and violence against women.
