Ben battles to overcome his addiction while a ghost of his past seeks to destroy his future. Tony, his partner and adopted brother does all he can to help and seeks out their estranged mother, Dionne. Dionne not only battles with her son's new found troubles but also why he left her all those years ago. Meanwhile, Kennedy Carmichael, South London's answer to Peggy Mitchell, is a fearless Drag Queen and the self proclaimed 'other mother', who delivers a tough love stance to Ben, a reckless truth upon Tony and a forceful push to the mother, Dionne.

Star had it's first London showing in the forms of a rehearsed reading at the Old Red Lion Theatre in Islington back in January 2020 and it was roaring success.
Recently, Star was produced for three live online read-throughs that went out with a big bang and raised over £200 for the Albert Kennedy Trust.
Now we're back and with a stellar cast and an exclusive Q&A!
