Nominated for a British New Music Theatre award, this immersive night-club opera received two revivals at the legendary London venue, EGG, and its international premier in Lisbon in 2024 (with new Portuguese translation)
Twink, Cub and Fag Hag are three friends on a night out in fictional gay club Paradaezia. As the evening descends into debauchery, Twink soon discovers the price of a high is an inevitable low.
