I WAS lucky enough to catch the final night of The Spark Factory – a festival of bold and risky new work taking place within the Brighton Fringe and curated by Spun Glass Theatre. The week-long festival included a range of artistic disciplines, from puppetry to spoken word to musical cabaret, and concluded with a brand-new piece of verbatim theatre by Brighton-based writer/performer The Queer Historian: How Disabled Are You?
Brian and Tom, together for ten years, would like to have a child, to be as Tom says, “a proper family with two dads”. When their friend, Jane, agrees to act as a surrogate, it seems they can really have it all. But after Tom is very reluctantly pressed into finding out about his biological parents, what he discovers will turn their dream of a family into their worst nightmare, threatening to destroy everything they have.
