“All I wanna do is live my life on a runway,” McQueen says in this new play. And so he does: a kind of memory play, House of McQueen traces the designer's journey from East London’s council flats to Paris catwalks. Along the way, he turned trauma into artistry and the runway into a battleground for identity, power, and survival.
A stunning and raw production, this new show is more than just a play: it blends fashion shows, family confrontations, and public spectacle into an unforgettable fever dream. McQueen's intense bond with his mother, sister, and muse foreground the story in love, loss, and one icon's artistic obsession.
Instead of mythologizing McQueen, this play reveals the boy beneath the brand. He was more than a legend: he was a fighter, lover, and fragile mortal. A daring and gorgeous production, House of McQueen captures the hunger of a man who demanded depth in a world of surface.
