The Guardian reviews 'butterfly' "this is a brilliant show full of heart – it’s history that is far from dull and has been smacked through a queer kaleidoscope of charm, dark humour and vibrancy." Wahoo! Thx @guardian Final show tonight, some tickets remain!

VERY flattered and VERY overexcited that our archival passion project made it back into an archive!
'LGBTQIA+ identity isn’t always something that’s visible in photos. For that reason I wanted to focus on different ways the LGBTQIA+ community have made and recorded our youth culture history in our own voices' (1/2)

As we enter pride season, remember that the stonewall riots were RIOTS. RIOTS, that lead to many of the freedoms we often take for granted. Freedoms which aren’t extended to all in our community. @isaacjulien @MsLadyPhyll

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came to our talk this evening @LdnMetArchives! We had a brilliant time chatting about the trials, tribulations and (occasional!) triumphs of putting LGBTQ+ archival material on stage 🌈

Huge props also goes to @ejpeppercorn, the brilliant actor playing Morgan - and of course to the team at @LdnMetArchives for having us (and bearing with us as we grappled with..... basic technology.)

Just finished listening in. Amazing to hear stories from archives in such a rich & engaging way. The power of exploring Queer stories from 1st person not 3rd w/ emotional motives rather than statistics. Transformative when you think of records, but simple when you think of people
For some reason, people are trusting me & @CloChpmn to do one of those live webinar thingys. Will be (trying to) talk about adapting LGBTQ+ history into exciting stories fit for stage! If anything, come to laugh at me failing to work out Microsoft Teams ! woop!

When you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, your very existence is an act of defiance against those who would tell you to sit down and stay silent. Small acts of courage in our everyday lives reveal themselves as great feats writ large when we retell them to an audience. #lgbtq

My heart is full. The energy, joy and raw truth that flowed from @BedlamChorus 'Butterfly' has both whisked me away into the past and grounded me in my present. I am such a proud friend @sam_arbor @CloChpmn
