Custard Club

Five women. Four decades. Twenty tins of custard. One delicious secret. Custard Club tells the story of Nancy, a young woman whose fraught search for queer community pushes her to the most sensible solution she can muster: summoning four women from across the twentieth century to her kitchen table for an unforgettable evening of passive aggression, genuine aggression, impromptu drag numbers and custard fights. As euphemisms and costumes slip to reveal hidden identities, Nancy realises that the cost of community is not the ignorance of difference, but the celebration and nurture of genuine authenticity. At times, Custard Club is a poignant look at queer costuming, coding and community-building, at others a campy, raucous spectacle. There are many fingers in many pies. Dubbed fondly as the lovechild of Top Girls and 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, Custard Club is a heart-wrenching, trans-historical, egg-based romp. Why not pull up a chair?
