Queer Theatre Trip:
Puppy by Naomi Westerman
Saturday, 26th April 2025 | Meet at the Kings Head Theatre at 12:15pm
Curtain Up at 1pm | Puppy finishes at 2:45pm
Kings Head Theatre, Islington
"It's a hobby like - it's mostly social"
A quiet change to legislation has resulted in a face-sitting protest outside Westminster. Deputy PM Nick Clegg has declared that the "Government is not there to stick its nose in the bedroom..."
Couple Jaz and Maya unwittingly find themselves at the centre of a political whirlwind, a far cry from their humble beginnings as a couple dogging in the Princess Di Memorial Car Park! Is their weird and wonderful community of doggers enough to shield them from the storm? Can they keep their love alive while fighting for their right to sexual freedom?
Starring Ashling O'Shea (Hollyoaks) and features Ian Hallard (Sherlock, Doctor Who) and Ed Larkin (The Little Big Things). Puppy is an outrageous, sex-positive comedy about dogging, queerness, porn, face-sitting and Nick Clegg.
Runtime: 1h 45m, no interval
