By Chris Parker
Presented in association with Q Theatre.
Presented as part of Auckland Pride Festival 2016.
Chris is putting on another one of his little dance shows. It’s 1999 and he’s not allowed to do it in the ‘Good Room’ – Mum says his limbs are getting too long and Dad thinks he should keep a lid on it.
An unruly mash-up of theatre, dance and home videos, this is a hilarious and moving account of a young gay boy growing up in middle-class Christchurch, realising he’s more ‘Lord of the Dance’ than ‘1st XV’.
No More Dancing in The Good Room is an autobiographical solo piece that premiered in the 2015 New Zealand International Comedy Festival to rave reviews, sold out houses and earned Chris a Best Newcomer Award.
