Relish Theatre has announced its spring 2025 season of three queer works across theatres in North London will include ACID’S REIGN, starring RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Scarlett Harlett.
ACID’S REIGN (Pleasance Theatre, 5 Feb – 1 March) is a new musical queering and querying the climate discourse, exploring the stories we tell about the climate crisis and the compromises we make to tell them.
Follow The Climate Queens as they fight for their future with the help of a little drag magic, but the hot-headed, cold-hearted Alex Acid has other ideas. Fuelled by desperation, greed and a good dollop of corporate interest, when Acid feels their voice is drowned out, is it easier to just light a fuse and watch the world burn?
Adopting the repertory theatre model, Relish Theatre’s Regeneration Season has been produced with the aim to make creating a repertoire of multiple new works a year more financially viable and sustainable for grassroots independent theatre companies. Across the season of work, Relish Theatre champion new writing from LGBTQ+ playwrights with the three productions reflecting the experience of LGBTQ+ lives and tackling real-world issues through a queer lens.

Rob Ellis, Executive Director of Relish Theatre, said: “Our mission is to explore as many aspects of the LGBTQ+ perspective as we can, offer opportunities to as many dynamic, exciting, groundbreaking artists as we can, and reach as many people with our stories as we can.
“All of this whilst doing it sustainably – Regeneration was an opportunity to hit all these targets at once. It gives us an opportunity to share risk and resources over multiple projects, offer artists longer contracts, and try to build audience engagement over a shorter period of time. It’s a challenge for us an organisation, as its nothing like we’ve ever done before, but it’s exciting as well.”
