Brit queer actor Rob Madge gently ribs the solemnity of the (22 hour long) line to see the Queen Lying In State

 

 

Brit non-binary actor Ron Madge is currently performing their own show, My Son’s a Queer But What Can You Do? in London’s West End.  They have taken time off to mark their own wee tribute to HM The Queen.  It doesn’t mock the queen, per se, but does gently poke fun at the hysteria of solemnity around her passing. 

 

 

 

When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry. Grandma had a nice time, though.

My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is the joyous autobiographical story of social-media sensation Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade – and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.
