Episode Description from the Publisher

I chat with Jo Foster, Barney Doran, and Anna Fenton Garvey about MAY DAY, a bold new queer mystical musical exploring real lived experiences through myth and music. We discuss how the show grew from interviews with queer and trans swimmers, the importance of reclaiming community spaces like the heath, and the challenge of creating a queer world that’s both playful and political. Jo shares their vision for being a voice for queer joy, Barney reflects on the power of sanctuary in nature, and Anna talks about provoking thought without pointing fingers.See MAY DAY at The King’s Head Theatre from 17-21 June 2026: https://kingsheadtheatre.com/whats-on/may-day-1s1rFollow Jo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jofosterrr/Follow Barney on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/barneyedoran/Follow Anna on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/annafg98/Follow May Day on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mayday.musical/Enjoyed this episode?
