ARTISTIC POLICY
Duckie produces Event Culture: audience interactive performance shows that blur the boundaries between theatre, nightclubs and new mode pop and arty show business. Duckie are ‘purveyors of progressive working class entertainment’, who mix live art and light entertainment. They fuse arthouse and experimental theatre practice with popular entertainment forms to create accessible and challenging performance events. Defining the post-gay movement, Duckie provides a creative forum for alternative gay and lesbian performance and culture.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘You will have seen nothing quite like it and it is well worth seeing. C’est delicious, c’est delightful, c’est devine. C’est très magnifique!’ The Guardian (C’est Duckie!)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
C’est Duckie! An all singing, all dancing, shameless crowd pleaser serving tailor-made table-top shows from a top class talent troupe of soubrettes, hoofers and starlets from the London (and local) performance scene. Cabaret style production for adults only. (120 mins, no interval, 7 on the road.)

Gay Shame A countercultural celebration that mixes live art, audience interaction and clubbing. With a traditional ‘fairground’ holding form, installations and performances are created using local performers. For adults only. (Variable running time circa 5 hours, 10 on the road.)

Duckie Tailor-made performance club nights. Duckie are social engineers aiming to reach out beyond the gay community, creating ‘good nights out’ that bring different communities together, platforming progressive performance. For adults only. (Variable running time circa 5 hours, 6/7 on the road.)
