My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?)

My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is Rob Madge’s autobiographical playtext, celebrating childhood creativity, family support and the ambition behind a home-made Disney parade.

At twelve, Rob staged the parade at home, with their dad taking on backstage duties and the family navigating missed cues and costume mishaps. The show revisits those memories through performance and home movies, turning an affectionate family story into a celebration of self-expression.

This edition contains the complete play text, links to and transcriptions of the video footage, colour photographs and material from the family archive. An afterword by Mum and Dad reflects on encouraging children’s creativity. A lively read for theatre audiences and readers interested in autobiographical performance.
