SUMMARY:George and the Drag Queen
DESCRIPTION:Maddy has a story to tell: a former St. John Ambulance volunteer, she recollects the strange encounter she once witnessed between George, a fellow volunteer, and Usman, a refugee, at a village summer fete.\nGeorge and Maddy are a frequent double-act at such events. George – bluff, ex military, a fount of old-school, wise-cracking banter (and St. John Ambulance trivia), now close to retirement, and a self-appointed mentor to Maddy – asthmatic, unlucky in love, but with more than enough wit to outsmart George. They make a sweet, if nerdy, team.\nThe fete is what you’d expect: outsized veg, primary school art display, scruffiest dog competition, rosettes, cream teas, bunting.  George and Maddy are expecting a quiet day. Except – half an hour before kick-off, a stranger appears in their gazebo. This is Usman – cheerful, gentle, quiet-spoken. Apparently the tent has been allocated to him as a makeshift dressing room. For his ‘Special Performance’. But when the penny drops, the fallout will turn this into a fete like no other…Pipeline Theatre uses comedy, heartbreak, music, a transmogrifying set, pin-sharp dialogue and indelible characters, to show that when caught in the riptide of history, you never know who might just save your life…\n” New writing, indelible characters, immersive production values gaining access to the big issues through the back window of ‘unremarkable lives’ ”  – The Upcoming\nhttps://foxloweartscentre.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/george_trailer.mp4 ( https://foxloweartscentre.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/george_trailer.mp4 )\nA touring professional production from Cornwall-based Pipeline Theatre, brought to Leek by Live&Local\nTickets now available at the Foxlowe café (no booking fee) as well as at wegottickets.com – click-through from here\n
