Come on a multi-coloured journey with us through time and around the world meeting the amazing LGBTQ+ people that shaped the world we live in today. Using movement, spoken word and real conversations from LGBTQ+ people, Tell Me Y/Our Story will teach you about the past members of the queer community and their joy, perseverance and action.
Created by Any Queeries, an emerging theatre company working with LGBTQ+ artists to tell queer stories, this promises to be an vibrant, non-narrative, devised and historically (in)accurate show about the importance of knowing our community and what we do when we’ve been erased.
Directed by Afton Aitkenhead, a current Young Vic Fresh Direction course participant, who specialises in new writing and physical theatre, Tell Me Y/Our Story promises to be a cacophony of queer chaos and love, telling the stories of the LGBTQ+ icons that history has forgotten.
Tell us your story and we’ll tell you theirs.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
