Drag Parody Show Faces Death Threats in Australia
News summary

The drag parody show 'Fountain Lakes In Lockdown: A Drag Parody Play,' based on the Australian sitcom 'Kath and Kim,' has received death threats from online trolls, prompting the production team to contact local police for safety assurances. Writer Thomas Jaspers noted that the threats originated from 'far-right snowflakes' upset with men in dresses, with some comments being serious enough to warrant police involvement at certain venues. The show recently completed a sold-out run in Melbourne and is currently touring the east coast of Australia, including the Sydney Opera House. Jaspers emphasized that while most of the negative comments are trivial, the safety of the cast is a priority and local authorities have been supportive. He urged those who oppose the show not to attend, stating, "You don’t have to come. It’s actually got nothing to do with you." The production features notable drag queens, including Art Simone, and humorously explores life during COVID lockdowns in the iconic Fountain Lakes setting.
