The 'Mission'
BI-TOPIA depicts a world in war-time ruins, an LGBTQ+ life scattered across the stage, it bravely delves into the under-represented links between battling with poor mental health and dealing with one’s sexuality.
​
BI-TOPIA is a semi-autobiographical and candid show that challenges societal norms. Both cathartic and bombastic, it drags you into the war-room when the enemies are all around, where the levels of anxiety are explosive, shame is coming in from the left flank and gay thoughts are sailing in from the east… This is war!

The Review Hub
★★★★★
"With just a handful of neat touches something extra special is created: lighting that transports the audience from a war zone to a club, great use of music and sound effects, brilliant movement through the entire space."
Three Weeks Edinburgh
★★★★
"But it’s a tremendous production, especially in the sound department, and with the battle-ground staging, everything is well thought out. Whether you are in the LGBTQ+ community or not, this show is worthy to be seen.."
Quay News
★★★★★
"A compelling, captivating performance with excellent comic timing"
