Review: ANDREW DOHERTY: GAY WITCH SEX CULT, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - April 24, 2024
We begin with Kaelan Trough (Doherty) gleefully repeating the word “Love,' grinning as he wanders around the stage. Kaelan and his partner, Jeremy, are having a gender reveal party for their baby. There is a black balloon hanging from the ceiling. Once popped, if the baby is a boy, blue rose petals will fall. If it’s a girl? Cooked shrimp.
