2019: A new drag supergroup bursts onto the scene, intent on challenging climate change.

Present day: Interest wanes. Climate funding falters. When commercial opportunity knocks, the company faces a reckoning: stay radical or stay visible?

Acid's Reign is a riotous queer musical with a live band and powerhouse vocals from drag superstars including Victoria Scone, Scarlett Harlett and Gigi Zahir (fresh from supporting Chappell Roan).

Provocative, camp and razor-sharp, Acid's Reign is a hilarious musical about activism, community and the power of performance.
