Willy Hudson News

Focusing on the best and brightest in emerging playwrighting talent, Soho Theatre's Soho Six attachment programme develops and nurtures playwrights' artistic practice as they write a new play for Soho's stages.

Willy Hudson’s Welcome Home is described on the theatre website as a 'queer sci-fi epic' - and epic it truly is, in every sense of the word. In a neon green fever dream of a one man show, Hudson tackles gay coming of age and religious shame, all while creating a rock concert meets gay club atmosphere on the Soho Theatre main stage.

Following his acclaimed Bottom, writer and performer Willy Hudson returns to Soho Theatre with a brand-new autobiographical show, facing the battle between religion and homosexuality told through the lens of science fiction.

Locked in his bathroom during a tragic third date, Willy asks: are you a Top or a Bottom?

The Soho Theatre has announced  Soho Six, Record Verity Bargate Award submissions, plus new on-demand plays and masterclasses.

Willy Hudson walks onto the stage in nothing but a towel, asking a member of the audience to help him put his underwear on. The action is repeated for a t-shirt and some shorts. He continually asks, "Has he text me?" referencing a mystery dude that Hudson went on a date with the previous evening. There isn't a response from the guy yet.

Adding to the amazing line-up for The Caledonian Express eleven more exciting shows are arriving in London fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. With comedy, cabaret, spoken word, world music, physical theatre and clowning, this programme will be sure to power up your theatre calendar over the coming weeks.

Locked in his bathroom during a tragic third date, Willy Hudson asks: are you a top or a bottom? Bottom is about bums, Beyonce and burnt fish fingers. Join Willy for a queer coming-of-age remix, as he questions if 'bottom' in the bedroom means 'bottom' in life - and whether Beyonce can help put his love on top.
