Wales Millenium Centre & Luke Hereford’s solo musical GRANDMOTHER’S CLOSET to play at Edinburgh Fringe

Following a successful run at home in Cardiff, Wales Millennium Centre and Luke Hereford will bring their solo musical Grandmother’s Closet to Summerhall at Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 3-28 August.

This autobiographical play by first-time writer (and long-time theatre-maker) Luke Hereford is about queer identities, and how Luke learned to love his with the help of his grandmother and her colourful wardrobe.

Featuring modern arrangements of pop classics from female icons including Madonna, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Judy Garland and Björk, the piece is directed by first-time director (and long-time actor) François Pandolfo.

This musical romp down the Yellow Brick Road promises mischief and mashups, dresses and divas, and a whole lot of heart.

Luke Hereford said: “This play is a manifestation of the joyful, glamorous spirit of my grandmother; my ultimate enabler. Every queer person has been on a journey of self-discovery at some point in their life, and though we take most of that journey alone, if we’re lucky we’re guided through it by unexpected formative moments with unexpected personal cheerleaders. Grandmother’s Closet honours those moments and cheerleaders, the power of memory, and is a salute the sacred art of dressing up.”
