London LGBTQ+ theatre launches new season - here's what's on

"There's an amazing season coming up of new queer playwrights in all directions, providing exquisitely new voices in all kinds of theatres of queer life. It's very exciting. The Black Adder actor showed particular love for the upcoming programme, congratulating artistic director Andrew Keates for the fantastic new itinerary that celebrates diverse LGBTQ+ theatrical voices."

"Kicking off the season in April is a reading of McDonald's work, a violently political drama which follows the true story of a neo-Nazi coming to terms with his sexuality against the backdrop of rising political tensions in the 70s and 80s, demonstrating the theatre's commitment to staging challenging and historically significant queer narratives."

"Luvvie: Gods and Monsters, named in honour of patron Sir Stephen Fry, will invite guests to join together in a Greek mythology-themed cabaret club night, which the venue says will create a dynamic meeting point for LGBTQIA+ creatives and allies, fostering community and artistic collaboration."

Queer Theatre, an award-winning London-based LGBTQ+ theatre company, has announced its spring season programming designed to champion queer stories and culture. The season features the Queer Play Reading Club, offering regular public readings of plays by both emerging and established LGBTQ+ playwrights including Harry McDonald, Coral Wylie, and Jake Brunger, accompanied by writing workshops and Q&A sessions. April's opening features McDonald's politically charged drama about a neo-Nazi confronting his sexuality during 1970s-80s political tensions. The OutCast Spring Showcase on March 25 presents emerging queer talent performing new and classic works. May brings Luvvie: Gods and Monsters, a Greek mythology-themed cabaret night named after patron Sir Stephen Fry, creating a meeting space for LGBTQIA+ creatives and allies.
