WELCOME HOME

WELCOME HOME
A big queer sci-fi epic feat. Robbie Williams’s bum.

Recovering from a bad breakup, Willy moves back to his parents’ house. But waiting there is the thing that’s been controlling him since birth – his childhood church.

It’s time to take on the church and avenge a lifetime of shame.

Join Willy in his kitsch DIY world as he catapults an autobiographical story into a fantastical spectacle. Expect space battles, monster anthems and an out-of-this-world terrain, all revolving around a real world battle of the heart.

Within an impossible revenge story on an unbreakable institution, is a story about resolving anger, the importance of allies and knowing when to let go.

Welcome Home premiered on the Soho Theatre main stage in 2023.
