When you think of 1983 you probably don't think of much. Thatcher perhaps, movies about dancing welders, Boy George before the radiator incident, or if you too are a person of class, maybe even the Cabbage Patch Kid riots. After watching Moonboy 1983, there will be but one event etched into your mind from that year. The birth of Crip Ladywood!
--
Join award winning Drag King, Crip Ladywood on a hilarious, nostalgic, romp through his life from growing up as a working class lad in Yorkshire, to finding himself as the King he is today.
Co-written by Crip Ladywood, and the phenomenal Holly Stars, a UK-based drag queen, author and comedian best known for her best-selling book Murder in the Dressing Room and the West End hit comedy Death Drop. Expect camp, expect comedy, expect songs and expect a whole lot of heart. Don't miss out on the chance to see the first ever showing of this work!

Sadly, The Divine is currently not fully accessible.
The cabaret and club space are in the basement of the venue. There are 17 wide steps with slip resistant treads down to the space with sturdy handrails either side.
The toilets are in the basement and are not accessible for wheelchair users, unless they are ambulatory and can use a standard toilet.
If you need further information, please refer to The Divine ‘About’ page on the website. www.thedivine.co.uk
Crip Ladywood is an ambulatory wheelchair user, and acknowledges this is far from ideal. His hopes are that if the first night is a success it will allow for funding so the show can re-run in a much more accessible space. Please get in contact if you have suggestions for a space.
