The Polo Lounge is known for bringing in the world’s leading lecturers from the University of Glasgow and abroad to present groundbreaking talks on the issues that matter.
Now, Professor Handler David will give a queer pseudo-lecture (of sorts) on how to put your puppy bitch boy into a submissive headspace through his system of YELPS. What follows is a surprisingly introspective, funny, and chaotic search for identity featuring homonormative puppet shows, fake bodily fluids, and erotic musical numbers by American punk artists Jake and the Nowhere, Alan Xtra, and Tungsten Lungs.
Pup Play is hilarious, thoughtful, and unapologetic in-yer-face queer theatre. Noah Alfred Pantano writes and stars as Professor Handler David in a critically acclaimed and bold performance which in part won him “Spirit of the Fringe” at Colchester Fringe. All the profits will be donated following the performance to an LGBTQ+ charity.
