Everybody's Talking About Jamie

...Apollo, Shaftesbury Avenue

...'The school’s psychometric test identifies 16-year-old Jamie as a potential forklift truck operator. He, however, dreams of drag-queen stardom... Although openly gay, and able to handle the class bully’s homophobic taunts with aplomb, Jamie is nervous about revealing to fellow pupils his preference for high heels and frock over blazer and trainers. John McCrea’s Jamie, trying to uncover the self he feels he could become, is a butterfly fighting free of its chrysalis – fragility tempered by toughness, possibility struggling towards actualisation. It’s a masterly performance.' Clare Brennan, Guardian
