Cutting edge venue, the Hackney Showroom in London E8 is presenting in September 12 works that span both theatre and film to shine a new light on LGBTQ issues.
The venue wants to provide a platform for writers and performers to test out raw work in development with a few of the plays being rehearsed readings of work in progress. The productions are more than affordable to see with a few of them being completely free of charge.
The programme includes plays of inter-generational stories of sexuality across the decades, experimental works, monologues, and fusions of real and imagined scenarios. There are a variety of films with a focus on drag, transsexuality and politics.
The objective of this short season which runs between September 8-12 is to attempt to overturn what the venue terms as “apathy and to dig out some clarity” in light of the gains made for the LGBTQ community in terms of tolerance, for example marriage equality in the US. Yet, there is still a long way to go in other countries of the world who are introducing new draconian anti-queer laws.
