A Drew McOnie-helmed production of Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song has opened at London’s new Turbine Theatre.
The staging stars Matthew Needham as Arnold, Daisy Boulton as Laurel, and Dino Fetscher as Ed. Making their stage debuts are Rish Shah as Alan and Jay Lycurgo as David.
The play follows Arnold, a drag queen in New York City, as he juggles life with friends and family.

Torch Song launched Turbine Theatre’s premiere season, led by Artistic Director Paul Taylor Mills. “The vision is a simple one: to enable world-class artists to tell stories that enchant at The Turbine Theatre and eventually play beyond our London home,” said Mills upon the announcement earlier this year. “We’re interested in being the starting point for new shows and also re-imagining the older ones.”
