In Mirrorword, Mandroids serve humans, doing the jobs that are too dangerous for organics. But Daniel23 dreams of more. He doesn't want a life on the mines ... he wants to be on stage. Can his human friend Camille save him before he's sent to the moon ... or worse?
That is how Goth teen Cami imagines the world to be when she puts on her headphones - no more 1984 trailer park living, no more angry mom telling her to try to fit in, no more being snapped at by her drag queen best friend Daniel's boyfriend. With Heaven 17 blasting on her headphones, she's in a futuristic world of spandex, queer cabaret, and fantastic nightclubs filled with creatures she's only seen in movies, and she's ready to jump into the fun.
A play about allyship, queer love, and learning to accept yourself, set to New Wave music of the 80s.
Time Out recommends! "Get your intergalactic 'awws' in a dystopian world where humans and robots can fall in love."
Featuring music by Gary Numan, OMD, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Heaven 17, Ultravox, Lene Lovich, and many more.
With Eleanor Burke, aka "Apple Derrieres," as evil impresario Tankersley+.
