Wales Millennium Centre to co-produce new solo musical GRANDMOTHER’S CLOSET (AND WHAT I FOUND THERE)

Wales Millennium Centre will co-produce a brand new, solo musical Grandmother’s Closet (and What I Found There) by first-time writer (and long-time theatre-maker) Luke Hereford, running from 20-23 April.

Grandmother’s Closet (and What I Found There) is an autobiographical play 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, and 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.”
