London is getting a premiere of the first new musical since the pandemic began at a specially designed theatre space in a pub garden.

Fanny and Stella is inspired by the story of two drag queens in Victorian England who were put on trial for dressing as women and accused of conspiring to commit sodomy.

They were acquitted and took their show on the road.
