Trompe l’Oeil: A Hilarious, Gravity-Defying Queer Circus Adventure!
Starring Rochdales own local queen Veronica Green.
“Get ready for a totally different yellow brick road. Trompe l’Oeil is a high-energy burst of queer theatre, cabaret, and circus that’s been wowing audiences in New York’s Off-Broadway scene and in London. Now in its sixth year, this cult fave is more surreal, on-point, and absolutely essential than ever.”
Drag, Deviants, and… Trampolines?
“Join a fierce American drag queen on a twisted journey through the ‘Wizard of Oz meets 2016’ version of America. Forget Kansas and think psychedelic. Think…”
“Drag Kings and Queens stealing the spotlight.”
“Jaw-dropping, racy moments to stir things up.”
“Flying bats and trampolines to turn the theater into a playground.”

**More Than It Appears**
‘Trompe l’Oeil’ means ‘deceives the eye.’ Well, the show delivers on that promise with slick illusions and stagecraft to deceive the eye. But the illusions and tricks go further than just the eye. They’re also in the music and the script. Hidden within the music and the script are messages and ideas that weave in and out with lyrical virtuosity.”
Why You Should See It
“It’s funny, subversive, and a total musical joyride. Whether it’s illusions or just pure and simple circus bliss, Trompe l’Oeil is a masterclass in queer spectacle and a reminder that there’s no place like home – especially when home is as wonderfully weird and wonderful as Trompe l’Oeil itself. Don’t miss the show that’s been fooling eyes and winning hearts for six years running!”
