From the wrong class, wearing the wrong dress, and making all the wrong choices. See Grayson’s journey from an Essex working-class council estate, to the dizzying heights of the Tate Gallery.
See him navigate the journey to self-acceptance via marital breakdowns, career disasters and some life coaching from a six-foot teddy bear named Alan. See this touching story about family, therapy, art and, of course, cross-dressing – you know, all the usual musical comedy tropes this July.
A glorious 1,000 seat venue dedicated to UK and international comedy, theatre and cabaret, with our Soho Theatre-style panto the highlight of the festive calendar and a lively creative engagement programme connecting with people of all ages. A welcoming, accessible and vibrant space rooted in our local community, for audiences from across London and beyond. Sitting between the intimate spaces of Soho Theatre in Dean Street and the capital’s bigger arenas, it will give audiences the perfect dedicated space to see world-class shows at mid-scale, filling an important gap in London’s thriving cultural landscape.
Soho Theatre Walthamstow will create new jobs and support regeneration and the area’s late-night economy. It will be a social enterprise, Community Interest Company, with regular discounts and priority booking for residents and businesses from across Waltham Forest.
