Birmingham’s Fierce festival opened this week with a compelling call by director Aaron Wright for the UK to diversify its theatre ecology. Until that happens, Fierce continues to offer a fantastic array of international, radical and queer performance work – this year including Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill’s wonderful The Making of Pinocchio.
Premiering at Fierce 2022, Oozing Gloop’s Tentacular Spectacular is yet to hit those heights. An immersive late-night cabaret hosted by “autistic green drag queen” Gloop, it promises a vision of a new anthropomorphic/amphibian age on which its various acts don’t quite deliver.
