The Pride

by Alexi Kaye Campbell

Past Event

10-15 October 2022 and Online 22-23 October 2022

How do sex, love and relationships intertwine when external pressures conflict with your core feelings?

Alternating between 1958 & 2008, The Pride features three people living similar but radically different lives. It examines, with humour and some sympathy, the changing attitudes to gay men over a period of 50 years, looking at intimacy, identity, and the courage it takes to be who you really are.Suitable for 15+.  This play contains nudity, discriminatory language, adult themes, brief scenes of a sexual nature and assault.
