They say
Now “Gwyneth Goes Skiing” is set to debut at Pleasance London Main House Cabaret in London, where it will run from December 13 to December 23.
The production company describes it as “A story of love, betrayal, skiing, and (somehow) Christmas - where you are the jury!”
“She’s the Goop-founding, Door-Sliding, Shakespeare-In-Loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar,” the show’s synopsis reads. “He’s a retired Optometrist from Utah. In 2016, they went skiing.”
On the slopes of Deer Valley, their worlds collided, and so did they - literally. Ouch. Seven years later in 2023, they went to court. Double ouch.
This is their story. Kind of. Not really. But also, it’s at Christmas.
Join harbingers of queer chaos Awkward Productions (Diana: The Untold & Untrue Story and How to Live a Jellicle Life) as they transform London’s Pleasance Theatre into Deer Valley Ski Resort.
A brand new show for Christmas 2023.
Starring Linus Karp as Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Martin as Terry Sanderson, and featuring original music by Leland (RuPaul’s Drag Race, Cher’s Christmas, Troye Sivan’s Something To Give Each Other).
A story of love, betrayal, skiing, and (somehow) Christmas - where you are the jury!
Prepare to be gooped. BYOJE (bring your own jade eggs).
