Queers - Set A

A young soldier returning from the trenches of the First World War recollects a love that dare not speak its name. Almost one hundred years later, a groom-to-be prepares for his gay wedding.

Queers celebrates a century of evolving social attitudes and political milestones in British gay history.

Poignant and personal, funny, tragic and riotous, these monologues cover major events – such as the Wolfenden Report of 1957, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the debate over the age of consent – through deeply affecting and personal rites-of-passage stories.

Curated by Mark Gatiss, the monologues were commissioned to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two men over the age of twenty-one.

The monologues will be performed across two performances as follows:

Thu: Set A

Fri: Set B

Sat Mat: Set A

Sat Eve: Set B

Sun Mat: Set A

Sun Eve: Set B

Tickets: £11.00 per performance or book two for £17.00
