DMU Pride: Rubber Ring
Synopsis
Jimmy is sixteen, sexually confused and stuck in Sheringham.
He’s screwed. Well he’s not actually: that’s the problem…
When pop star Morrissey comes to London, Jimmy flees to the city to try and find his hero and himself. Rubber Ring is a laugh-out-loud one man play that opened at The Pleasance Islington to rave reviews before transferring to The Tristan Bates Theatre in London’s West End.
Running time: 60 minutes with no interval.
This show contains strong language and sexual references.

Reviews
A humorous look at rural England and the challenges facing LGBT teens who live far away from the big city… There are few plays I have seen that had audiences laughing so long and so regularly
Carns Theatre Passion
Rubber Ring captures the core of the Morrissey experience: the romance of the outsider, the loneliness of sexual confusion and the bonds that form in the most unlikely places. There are few things I've enjoyed more than Rubber Ring
