About Ryan Stewart
Ryan Stewart presents KINDER at Big Belly, a theatre and drag show in which newly arrived drag artist Goody Prostate is called up to headline a local library reading hour, only to have an unexpected phone call derail the performance. Forced to scramble together a new act in real time for a crowd of unruly children and their parents, Goody spirals into a chaotic exploration of childhood, memory, stories and what it means to truly grow up. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, and contains occasional strong coarse language, references to homophobia and queerphobia, and occasional mild sexual references.
Why see this show?
A show that begins in chaos and finds something surprisingly tender in the mess. Goody Prostate's real-time unravelling at a children's reading hour turns into a genuinely moving exploration of growing up and queer identity.
