Name: Our Gay Maria: LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, NATIVITÉ
Start: 2022-12-20 20:00:00
End: 2022-12-20 22:00:00
Location: The Glory

As 2022 draws to a close - the Marias find themselves broke, alone and morally bankrupt - nothing new. But this Christmas, there's something different.

Aurora keeps waking up nauseous, Jen's breasts have never been more swollen and tender, and Rosemary's cravings have gone wild. Could it be? Could the Marias' lives be about to change forever as they welcome new life into the world? There's only one snag. The Marias are 'Pure, Untouched Virgins' (per the title of their joint 2009 autobiography - being adapted for Netflix next year xoxo) so something doesn't quite add up. To uncover the truth, these three wise old whores set out on a quest across East London and in the process will clunkily shoe-horn several talented performers into the narrative.

The Marias return to where it all started for the Greatest (and most chaotic) Christmas story never told. There may be no room at any of Haggerston's many SmartHotels but a Shining Star rises above The Glory on this holiest of nights....Tuesday 20th December 2022.

In the words of the Angel Gabrielle: 'Dreams can come true' as a baby will be born tonight of immaculate conception.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
