The time is 1963, the place Middle America – and the music? Well, a lot of it is great Sixties stuff, such as Wipe Out by the Surfaris, and Do You Lo...
This is not a show to take your maiden aunt to, or a card-carrying member of the Democratic Unionist Party. It is decadent. It is ripely gay. And it h...
