Listen to Ian chatting to FringeReview about Locusts

Our audience response has been great 😊

We’re getting wonderful audience feedback to Locusts. It’s a joy to perform and a privilege to chat to audiences afterwards - one lady thanked me for the play and described it as “a gift”.

Locusts is at TheSpaceUK Triplex at 16:05 until the 9th. Don’t miss it.

Day two of our #edfringe - we’re at Triplex with our acclaimed drama at 16:05pm today until the 9th.

That’s eight shows, by the way, not a show lasting a whole week long. That would be madness.

Real life experiences of conversion practices form a powerful central story-arc in Locusts, an acclaimed drama at the Edinburgh Fringe from Friday 1st August.

Stephen’s story highlights the lifelong impact conversion practices can have on LGBTQ+ people, and those around them.

Ian Tucker-Bell, one of the writers of Locusts, discusses his experiences of conversion therapy and why the practice should be banned.

Locusts is at the #EdinburghFringe from August 1-9. #TheatreSky #banconversiontherapy

Locusts - and the Edinburgh Fringe - opens two weeks today.

Locusts follows Stephen & Jeff whose lives are disrupted by the return of a figure from Stephen’s youth, asking for the impossible.

Told with heart, honesty, and humour this is a play you don’t want to miss.

When Jeff met Stephen… and realised Stephen knows nothing about art.

Locusts is at The Space Triplex from August 1st to 9th. Find out about that rabbit here: www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...

Happy #WorldFringeDay good #TheatreSky people!

Our fringe adventures have taken to Edinburgh, Faversham, Camden, Brighton, Leeds, Madrid… Here’s a little snapshot of our adventures so far…

See at #edfringe in a few weeks!

Pete, the pastor who believes God made Stephen straight.

Conversion therapy is often shown as a big dramatic thing, but Ian’s experience (like many others) was subtle, coercive, and damaging.

Find out more at #edfringe Aug 1st - 9th.

We are *very* excited to be heading back to #Edinburgh in a few weeks and performing Locusts again. It’s a show we’re so proud of and one that leaves quite the impact on those that see it.

If you’re in the area come down and say hello after.

Locusts went down a storm in Brighton last night. Such an incredible response. We’re kinda humbled.

Locusts is back in #Brighton on Saturday at 2pm, then off to #Edinburgh in August, and then maybe other places too.

So #proud, and so knackered!

Hello, #Brighton!

Seagulls are shockingly massive.
May 26, 2025 at 7:22 AM
If you’re in or near Brighton next week then this is a must-see. Moving, funny, romantic, and a play that’ll leave you thinking and talking for days to come.

Locusts is in Brighton two days only. Don’t miss it.
Hey #Theatre Community!

Next week my play Locusts is in #Brighton. It’s a powerful piece about family, friendship, love, faith, and the impact of #gayconversiontherapy.

Tickets are at brightonfringe.org and also from the Lantern Theatre.

Locusts has been really well reviewed and received; it’s warm hearted, with humour, love, and some great northern humour.
