That’s why Professor Handler David is here to give a lecture on the kink of pup play and teach London how to turn their bitchboys into good boys. What begins as a traditional lecture quickly transcends labels through stand-up\, homonormative puppets\, punk music\, gay sex\, and multimedia visuals to become an emotionally provocative and boldly introspective reflection on queer identity. “Filled with Puppy Power” (Watermark News)\, Pup Play “has a heart the size of Clifford the Big Red Dog.” (Broadway World)Noah Alfred Pantano writes and stars. He has been described by critics as “immeasurably talented” (Broadway World)\, “sharp\, quick\, and uncompromising” (GSCENE)\, and “bold\, brazen and stratospherically cheeky\, concealing beneath the girth of energy a good heart and a probing mind.” (Lost in Theatreland). Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. \nPup Play has won five awards and tours around the world raising over $1400+ (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities.\nThe show features music by Jake and the Nowhere\, Alan Xtra\, and Tungsten Lungs.\nThe profits from this performance will be donated to a LGBTQ+ charity.\nPup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio\, MessyPup\, BoboBear\, Sent With Pride\, and Essex Startups.

Each session explores the stories beneath the noise — where creativity\, identity and lived experience intersect — offering audiences a rare chance to engage directly with the people who make and document the music that defines generations. \nIn Spaceships Over Glasgow\, Braithwaite traces his journey from a music-obsessed childhood in Scotland to the global stages of one of the world’s most influential post‑rock bands. With warmth\, self‑deprecation and startling candour\, he recounts formative gigs\, life‑changing records\, chaotic tours and the friendships that sustained Mogwai through decades of relentless volume and evolution. \nSet against the backdrop of Glasgow’s fertile underground scene\, the book is both a love letter to live music and an unfiltered account of the realities of life in a band — the exhilaration\, exhaustion\, excess and uncertain balance between creativity and survival. From teenage discovery of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine\, to tinnitus‑inducing shows and international acclaim\, Braithwaite captures what it means to build a life around sound. \nFar more than a rock memoir\, Spaceships Over Glasgow reflects on youth\, belonging\, and the ways music can serve as escape\, identity and salvation. It speaks to anyone who has ever stood in a crowd and felt their life rearranged by noise — or dreamed of stepping onto a stage and making that feeling happen for others. \nWhat to Expect \n\nAn intimate talk from Stuart\, exploring the stories\, memories and moments behind the book\nInsight into Mogwai’s journey\, Glasgow’s underground music culture\, and the realities of long‑term life in a band\nDiscussion of creativity\, obsession\, touring\, friendship and the sustaining power of loud music\nReflections on youth\, risk\, resilience and the transformative experience of live performance\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Braithwaite about writing\, music and Mogwai’s legacy\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a candid\, joyful and uncompromising evening celebrating music as a lifelong force — told by someone who has lived it\, loudly and without filter.
