I am sceptical about local history-themed plays, many of which are a collection of local factoids but little more substance. I probably would have given this one a miss if it wasn't a review request.

Thank goodness I didn't. Congratulations @evieh2012.bsky.social and @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social.

Queer Diary / Hasbian @queerdiary.bsky.social · Aug 6

HASBIAN on tour 📣

Hasbian (noun)
- A former lesbian
- A comedy about growing up queer in Brighton during Section 28

Beth’s REAL teenage diary is brought to life in vivid hilarity with animated projections inspired by teen magazines, set to a soundtrack of y2k pop classics & indie angst anthems 💘

A promo photo of Beth against a pink backdrop, opening a blue notebook, with a scandalised expression - one eyebrow raised, mouth open in shocked amusement. Beth is a white person with dark hair in a high ponytail, wearing pink dungarees & a lilac tie-dye t-shirt. Above Beth, the title says “Hasbian” in a bold yellow font that recalls teen movies: Mean Girls, Clueless, etc.
Surrounding Beth's head are cut-out photos including a Brighton bus, a bottle of cheap vodka, red Doc Marten boots, young Lindsay Lohan & Ashton Kutcher in heart-shaped frames, the back of 00s pop duo Tatu holding hands in school uniform.
Snippets from reviews appear on cut-out strips, above and below Beth, and the dates are listed on a torn blue strip of paper, in a typewriter-style.

Text reads:
Hasbian
“A unique insight into growing up queer in the 90s” ★★★★★ - A Young(ish) Perspective
"An incredibly funny, charismatic performer" ★★★★ - West End With Me
