A coal miner's son comes to London from Newcastle and finds his inner swan. As a drag queen.
He’s a deaf drag queen who loves to sing.
He joins a drag troupe. He is the star. Danny is tough. That's his name. Danny Diva. It's the early nineties, and Danny Diva dies. It's before the pills. Danny Diva dies of AIDS.
His Mummy is devastated and sets off with her small pink fifties suitcase to inferno, in search of the truth about her boy.
She meets Virgil, the poet, on roller skates. Inferno is not like she expects. Inferno is the roller she expects. Inferno is the roller disco in Central Park, New York City, all rather good fun really. Off they go through the nine circles of hell, and several super big musical numbers, in search of Danny…
Fittings new show is inspired by the life of legendary Bloolips performer Diva Dan.
