DRAGGING YOUR HEELS

Can a builder become a drag queen?

This funny and uplifting queer play features songs, sequins and sparkle!

Dragging Your Heels is a brand new, musical comedy premiering in London. Ben (Terry Geo) is newly divorced and back in his home town. Feeling like life is closing in on him, he wants to be a stand-up comedian but suffers from crippling stage fright. With the help of his best friend, Callum and drag queen, Tammy Scowls (Dolly Diamond) they show him there could be another way to fulfil his dreams.

Dragging Your Heels is written by and starring Terry Geo as Ben Sentosa. We are also incredibly honoured and excited for Australian star of stage and screen Dolly Diamond to be joining the cast as Tammy Scowls – a drag queen with a fierce tongue and a warm heart.

Will Stead has composed five fantastic original songs for the show and holding the reins is award-winner director, Paul T. Davies.

Terry Geo wrote and directed his first play aged 11. In 2017, Terry wrote and directed an award-nominated musical for the London stage. Blink of an Eye was the precursor to Blink, his one-man gay rom-com which toured the UK in 2022 and 2023. He is also the author of two books.

Blink: A one-man gay rom-com

After a fantastic debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022, Terry Geo’s astounding show is back!

Blink gives a raw and emotional insight into modern life for an interracial couple. This one-man gay rom-com will have you laughing, cheering and reaching for the tissues.

“Bring your tissues, buckle your seatbelts… things are about to get intense.” Charlie Faint (EdFringe)

Jake meets the man of his dreams, a Kenyan refugee now working for Stonewall. Their relationship is full of laughter and together they build an incredible life filled with love, adventure and comical moments. But being gay isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Together they face homophobia and racism head on, combat HIV stigma and show the world that two men – even from different races – are no different to anyone else.

“A story that should be heard.” Neil White (EdFringe)

Terry Geo wrote and directed his first play aged 11. After leaving school, he worked in television becoming the youngest TV director. After a brief stint in a boyband, he starred in musical theatre productions, short films, music videos and toured the UK and UAE with a TIE show.
