After multi-award-winning success at VAULT Festival and The Pleasance, Robert Holtom’s “uproariously funny” Dumbledore Is So Gay returns to the London stage with a limited run at Southwark Playhouse Borough.

It ain’t easy being Jack. He got sorted into Hufflepuff using the official online quiz, hates studying French, and is in love with his best friend Ollie. Dodging bullies, keeping secrets and trying to get the guy is too much for him to take.

“An infectious display of optimism… I couldn’t stop beaming” – Kate Wyver for the Guardian

So, he changes his story one spellbinding moment at a time in pursuit of making the world a little more magical. Maybe this time he’ll get into Gryffindor.

“Charmed the damn pants off me” – James Graham
