RACKS
Imperial College Dramatic Society (ICDS) • Student/Youth company
About the show
Imperial College Dramatic Society presents this dark comedy at Space 1. Set at Runyon Grammar, three principals from the school musical — Sky Masterson, Benny Southstreet and Miss Adelaide — sneak away from rehearsals to check their costumes. When the door to the costume cupboard locks behind them, they find themselves trapped. To pass the time, they begin playing an impressions game with the costumes around them, but as the game goes off the rails, they end up sharing far more than they bargained for. The show runs for 50 minutes, is suitable for ages 14 and over, and contains distressing themes, strobe lighting and strong language.
Why see this show?
A tightly wound dark comedy that starts with a locked costume cupboard and ends somewhere far more unexpected. The LGBTQ+ themes and sharp writing make this student production worth seeking out.
