A new cabaret by drag performer Paulus The Cabaret Geek, directed by Sarah-Louise Young, that explores the world of Victoria Wood.
Paulus The Cabaret Geek brings What Wood Victoria Do? to Salisbury Arts Centre on Saturday 28 November, starting at 7:30pm. It's a brand-new cabaret that takes a deeper dive into the world of Victoria Wood, celebrating women who don't mince their words and navigate friendship and loss amongst tea towels and village halls. The show draws from The Victoria Wood Songbook, with fresh tunes from Wood's catalogue running through it.
It comes from the same team behind the critically acclaimed Looking For Me Friend, and is directed by the multi-award-winning Sarah-Louise Young, who also directed Paulus in that show. The set focuses on the kind of settings Wood made her name with — hairdressing salons, keep-fit classes and the WI — and the women who fill them.
Paulus himself is a drag performer who cut his teeth at Madame JoJo's in 1999 as Trinity Million. He says he found in Wood's work the welcome he didn't get elsewhere as a queer kid in the 1980s, and that's the thread that runs through the show. It's touring the UK, with an approximate runtime of one hour and ten minutes and an age advisory of 10+.
