Mickey-Jo saw his most anticipated new show of the year - a musical adaptation of the film PRIDE. The show, which is set in the 1980s, tells the true story of LGSM, a group of Lesbians and Gay men from London who supported a community of miners during Thatcher era strikes. Check out what Mickey-Jo thought of the show, its material, and the extent to which it measured up to the extraordinary film upon which it is based... check out Mickey-Jo's free substack newsletter: www.mickeyjotheatre.substack.com • 00:00 | introduction 02:08 | synopsis / themes 07:21 | the material 19:20 | creative choices 29:36 | performances 37:14 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.
