Last time to catch Grimm at Alphabetti is tonight... Don't forget the show starts at 7pm tonight, meet you at the bar?

Ike Award for Outstanding Theatre

I am sceptical about local history-themed plays, many of which are a collection of local factoids but little more substance. I probably would have given this one a miss if it wasn't a review request.

Thank goodness I didn't. Congratulations @evieh2012.bsky.social and @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social.

Ah thanks so much for this Chris, we're chuffed they're with us as part of their tour and couldn't agree with you more, we love the energy of the piece! 🐟

A promo photo of Beth against a pink backdrop, opening a blue notebook, with a scandalised expression - one eyebrow raised, mouth open in shocked amusement. Beth is a white person with dark hair in a high ponytail, wearing pink dungarees & a lilac tie-dye t-shirt. Above Beth, the title says “Hasbian” in a bold yellow font that recalls teen movies: Mean Girls, Clueless, etc. Surrounding Beth's head are cut-out photos including a Brighton bus, a bottle of cheap vodka, red Doc Marten boots, young Lindsay Lohan & Ashton Kutcher in heart-shaped frames, the back of 00s pop duo Tatu holding hands in school uniform. Snippets from reviews appear on cut-out strips, above and below Beth, and the dates are listed on a torn blue strip of paper, in a typewriter-style. Text reads: Hasbian “A unique insight into growing up queer in the 90s” ★★★★★ - A Young(ish) Perspective "An incredibly funny, charismatic performer" ★★★★ - West End With Me Worcester 27 Sept Worcester Theatres Durham 3 Oct Gala Theatre Oxford 10 Oct The Old Fire Station Norwich 12 Oct Norwich Theatre Basingstoke 16 Oct Proteus Theatre Exeter 18 Oct Exeter Phoenix Newcastle 23 Oct Alphabetti Theatre Salford 19 Nov New Adelphi Theatre

HASBIAN on tour 📣

Hasbian (noun)
- A former lesbian
- A comedy about growing up queer in Brighton during Section 28

Beth’s REAL teenage diary is brought to life in vivid hilarity with animated projections inspired by teen magazines, set to a soundtrack of y2k pop classics & indie angst anthems 💘
