Drag Ballroom Culture Play - Near Leeds

‘I AM BEAUTIFUL’ is new drag theatrical play written by Benjamin Wysocki.

Set in Leeds in 1989, Michael struggles with the pressures of individuality while being infatuated with Vanessa, a young drag performer. Inside the underground nightclubs of Leeds, we meet fabulous characters who compete in elaborate categories to win glittering trophies to fulfil their inner fantasies as they’re socially shunned from the rest of the world.

From colourful garments to Vogue dancing, ‘I AM BEAUTIFUL’ explores LGBTQ+ Ballroom Culture bounded with sexuality, gender, corruption and AIDS. 

Join Outdoorlads members at this performance. There is an opportunity to join us for a fish and chip supper before the performance at the world's oldest fish and chip restaurant.  There is also an easy four mile walk that afternoon which has been designed to fit in with the performance. 

You must purchase your theatre ticket before the event. These cost £16.13. Seats are not allocated so you will be able to sit with the group or choose to sit elsewhere in the theatre.  We will also meet in the theatre for refreshments at the interval and before the event.
