Description:
Winner of the Creative Arts Award at the Proud Scotland Awards 2025, this powerful new play follows three unforgettable drag queens – The Jessies – and the staff of the infamous Jessie’s Bar in Scotland. Spanning from 1980 to 1995, the story dives into the highs and lows of queer life during a time of upheaval, hope and hard-won joy. Set against the backdrop of a changing world, this hilarious and deeply moving play is a celebration of resilience, love and the enduring power of community.
