SUMMARY:Thor’s A Dick – Viking Legends Not for Kids - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:Join Yorkshire storyteller Eden as he retells some of the darker tales from the old north. Today we see Thor and the Norse gods as heroes\, but like a lot of the ancient gods they were full of faults and more human in their anger\, jealousy\, and spite. Today we present these tales to kids as friendly stories but in reality\, they’re about heroes taking revenge by pouring snake venom into their enemies’ eyes\, and parents taunting their offspring with the death of their loved ones. Back in dark ages these tales were for everyone\, and scaring the life out of kids was not a problem. It’s as simple as a tale as old as time\, one man\, a few stories all that’s missing is the fire we won’t be sat around.

SUMMARY:Beating (off) Superheroes - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:In a bunker 3000 miles underground\, Captain Handler is bound\, blindfolded\, and at the mercy of his arch-enemy: The Gecko. Beaten (off) into submission and drained of his superfluids\, Captain Handler is doomed to be forever bred by the Gecko. Then Chuck enters… whom Captain Handler forgot his boyfriend invited over to rescue him… \nBeating (off) Superheroes is a raw\, kink-saturated queer comedy (of sorts) that explodes the myths of open relationships. Beating (off) Superheroes is a non-linear\, multimedia\, kinky gay sex romp with a full score by Jake & the Nowhere and Tungsten Lungs. Somewhere between roleplay and reality\, a relationship is getting rescued. Maybe. \nCaptain Handler/Bruce – Matthew ArcherThe Gecko/Clark – Noah Alfred PantanoCenturion/Chuck – Chris Tal \nColchester Fringe’s SPIRT OF THE FRINGE Noah Alfred Pantano is the writer and director. This work is part of his PhD in Theatre Studies at the University of Essex. His last play\, Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts)\, won five awards and tours around the world\, raising over $1400 (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities. Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. He is the current reigning International Mister Superhero Fetish. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. Pantano is infamous for his post in-yer-face queer theatre style\, which\, while intense\, prides itself on its radical queerness\, unusual staging\, and brutal honesty. \nChris Tal is an international actor\, choreographer\, designer\, and drag queen excited to bring bold energy to Beating (off) Superheroes. Last year\, Tal played dual roles as a German soldier and cryptographer in Colchester Fringe’s “We Will Remember Them.” Tal also worked on sound for “5th of August 1986” and is proud to be part of the Stage Craft family. Tal cannot wait to captivate audiences with a fresh\, daring performance in this super-horny play.
