THE MINISTRY OF LESBIAN AFFAIRS
The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs, the eponymous, only lesbian choir in the country, are trying to win their place on the Pride main stage. Packed with laugh out loud moments and lots of drama, this heartwarming musical comedy ran at the Kiln Theatre in a sold-out, extended run in 2025, following its sold-out premiere at Soho Theatre in 2022.
