Extravagant robes dripped in gold, sacramental wine and putting other people's bodies in your mouth&Mass or a Gay Bar? This show doesn't just blur the lines between the two; it sticks them in a blender and serves the audience a delicious smoothie that leaves them feeling revitalised, energised and ready to dismantle the patriarchy. Queer theatre never looked so ethereal. A queer mass with choral singing at the centre, readings from the gospel according to Lady Gaga and a menu that serves only the body ody ody of Christ, this is a service not to be missed. Songs of Theys was first performed as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival 2023, with one week of sold out shows and returning audience. Age suitability:18+ Warnings:Strong language/sexual reference.

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.

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.
