Summer In London
★★★★
'This funny, romantic, optimistic play will still bring on the tears. It’s easy to fall in love with Summer in London.'
The Stage
SUMMER IN LONDON, 2017, was the first large-scale play to feature an all-trans cast on a mainstream stage in the UK. The play is a love letter to London and a story of friendship, love and finding yourself.
Cast: Tigger Blaize, Mzz Kimberley, Tyler Luke Cunningham, Emma Frankland, Victoria Gigante, Ash Palmisciano and Kamari Romeo.
Written and directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair
It was an honour to be a part of the ground breaking SUMMER IN LONDON and I’m grateful to have been part of the wonderful cast of trans actors, who are now like family! It’s very telling however, that this production was four years ago and no shows since have featured a trans cast of this size or even with multiple trans actors working at this scale. SUMMER IN LONDON may have been a significant moment, but we are yet to see serious and sustained commitment towards employing trans actors, directors and writers in the UK theatre industry.
