Brand new musical PROUD joins MTFESTUK 2021

New musical Proud has been added to Paul Taylor-Mills’ highly celebrated annual festival of new musical theatre, MTFestUK 2021.

The piece will replace Daisy in this year’s line-up which, due to reasons beyond the Turbine Theatre’s control, is no longer able to be presented at this time.

David has always been different. He really wishes he wasn’t. Despite the acceptance and unconditional love of his parents, his prayers are answered when he discovers the existence of ‘Reality Trek’, a conversion camp for gay men run by ex-gay Donald and his lord-abiding wife, Bernice. With faith on their side, they guide David and his camp campmates through the programme, but when the illegally-handsome Rory arrives late, David faces the ultimate test on the path to the straight and narrow.

Proud has music by Lee Freeman, lyrics by Mark Anderson, and book by Graham Lappin and Mark Anderson. It is directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, with musical direction by Ellie Verkerk.

The cast includes Stephen Ashfield (The Book Of Mormon), Chris Draper (School Of Rock), Jordan Luke Gage (& Juliet/Bat Out Of Hell), Idriss Kargbo (Five Guys Named Moe), Freddie King (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), Rebecca Locke (Heathers), Carl Man (Wicked) and Nick McLean (Wicked).
