Lemon Squeeze Productions create and produce high quality, small-scale theatre. The golden thread that runs through all our work is our dedication to ensuring our audiences are both challenged and entertained.
"I believe that humour can be the trojan horse that can wound the powerful, shine a spotlight on inequality, and make the world a better place" - Sarah Archer, Company Director
Our first production 'Dearly Beloved' was a great success at the Edinburgh Fringe, and on tour. It is now published by Lazybee Scripts and has been performed all over the world.
We have been lucky enough to work with Joan Greening on her Edinburgh Fringe Productions over the last few years, both on stage and on screen (in collaboration with Feegle Films).
Our newest production 'A Couple of Swells' (written by our very own Sarah Archer) made its world premiere in the Brighton Fringe in May 2023.
Sarah Archer's new play 'A Couple of Swells - Vesta and Hetty' premiered at Brighton Fringe in May!
Vesta Tilley and Hetty King were international superstars and rivals who wowed audiences around the globe with their male impersonator acts over 100 years ago.
In this show, Vesta and Hetty are brought to life again, and thrown together, (not that they're happy about it!) ... to share their stories with you, and to determine once and for all, which of them was Queen of the original Drag Kings.
The show will include a number of classic music hall songs, including ‘Following in Father’s Footsteps’, ‘Burlington Bertie from Bow’, and lots more.
And ... at the end of the show you will decide which woman wins the title of the best male impersonator in the world.
If you love old time music hall, or you’re partial to a bit of 'drag' then this will be right up your alley!
