Join the Queer@King's reading group in discussing 'Overflow' by Travis Alabanza.
This month’s reading will be Overflow by Travis Alabanza, which had a very short run at Bush Theatre before the 2020 winter lockdown, and was then performed live, filmed, and broadcasted online in 2021. As the Bush Theatre advertises it, ‘from internationally acclaimed writer and one of the UK’s most prominent trans voices, Travis Alabanza, Overflow is a hilarious and devastating tour of women’s bathrooms, who is allowed in and who is kept out’.
The play is written by Travis Alabanza and performed by Reece Lyons.
