Alan Turing: The Musical is at the King’s Head Theatre

Here’s a selection of theatrical delights to celebrate LGBT+ History this month and beyond.

• A modern-day western with physical comedy and clowning, And Then the Rodeo Burned Down is billed as a “vaudevillian thriller”and “a queer cowboy Waiting for Godot”. A pair of clowns (Chloe Rice and Natasha Roland) are trapped in a time-loop with music by Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and Miley Cyrus. To Feb 11. Alan Turing: The Musical, composed by Joel Goodman and Jan Osborne, explores Turing’s role in the Second World War, the loss of his closest friend, as well as his struggle with society’s prejudiced view of homosexuality.

• In My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) Rob Madge explores the ups and downs of raising a queer child. When Rob was 12, they attempted a Disney parade for their grandmother. While Rob donned wigs to play Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their dad doubled as stage manager and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. Madge sets out to recreate that infamous parade and, this time, nobody is gonna rain on it. To March 18. theambassadorstheatre.co.uk/

• Jamie (Ian Leer) is still talking to Teddy (Andrew Lancel), but he’s been dead for 11 years. Jamie has never recovered. Simon Perrott’s Kissed by a Flame, directed by James Callàs Ball, is a bittersweet window into the final months of that once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. To Feb 11. pleasance.co.uk/

• Travis Alabanza’s Sound of the Underground spotlights London’s iconic underground club culture. Legends of the London queer club scene venture above ground for an electric night out. Part-play, raucous cabaret and workers’ manifesto, join eight underground drag icons as they spill the tea, free the nipple and fight the shadowy forces that threaten their livelihoods. To Feb 25. royalcourttheatre.com/

• In Robert O’Hara’s provocative comedy, a roller coaster ride about growing up black and gay, Sutter wants to understand himself and the world around him. Directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu, Bootycandy is a semi-autobiographical, kaleidoscopic, black queer fever dream of connected vignettes exploring childhood, sexuality, fantasy and reality. From Feb 13-March 11. gatetheatre.co.uk

• Finally, a head’s up that Ryan Calais Cameron’s stupendous For Black Boys Who Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy (commissioned by New Diorama Theatre) transfers to the Apollo Theatre from March 25-May 7. Father figures and fashion tips. Lost loves and jollof rice. African empires and illicit sex. In a world of music, movement, storytelling and verse, six young Black men meet for group therapy and let their hearts and imaginations run wild. theapollotheatre.co.uk/
