Beschreibung

Abseiling lesbians! Queers in classrooms! Perverts panicking parents!
Thatcher's Section 28, which banned the 'promotion' of homosexuality in schools, was the landmark legislation that silenced a generation, offered a global blueprint for LGBTQ+ oppression and galvanised a movement.
Billy Barrett and Ellice Stevens's After the Act is a funny, camp and unapologetically queer musical about how a moral panic gripped a nation – and a community decided to fight back. Its inspiring, often heartbreaking, stories of teachers, students and activists impacted by the legislation are accompanied by a joyously exuberant score written by Frew and inspired by the music of the 1980s.
It was first produced in 2023 by the award-winning theatre and film company Breach at New Diorama Theatre, London, before performances during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a UK tour in 2024.
Verfügbar seit: 07.11.2024.
Drucklänge: 88 Seiten.

    Three years ago, Dax Howard got out of a bad relationship and swore never to date again. He loves his picturesque cabin outside Nortown and is looking forward to three weeks of quiet over the holidays. He hadn't foreseen a stranger turning in on his driveway in the middle of a snowstorm, claiming he's there for a date.
    
    
    Ellis Rush has risked his neck driving in a snowstorm to meet his friend Daniel and his boyfriend Dom for a double date he agreed to go on as a favor. Reaching the destination, he can't see Daniel's car anywhere, and when the mountain of a man opening the door says he's never agreed to go on a double date, Ellis realizes he's been played.

Since the roads are undrivable, Dax invites Ellis to stay, and together they plot their revenge. Cooking for Ellis, kissing Ellis, and sleeping next to Ellis isn't the same thing as dating, is it?

    Ghosts are real. And now they're Aric's problem.
    Even legendary swordsmen need time off, and Aric and his half-fairy partner Emrys are traveling south to visit Aric's brother. But, on a stormy night at a roadside inn, an old friend stumbles in nearly frozen, swearing that the mountain pass is haunted ... and deadly. 
    With travelers and friends in danger, Aric and Em will try to solve the mystery of the murderous hauntings, but that won't be simple. Swords aren't much use against specters. Any use of Em's magic will draw attention from a powerful fairy king. And this quest is making Aric think about his past, his future, and settling down in one spot with Em, someday ... if Emrys wants that future, too.

    First rule of riding the subway: 
    Don’t talk to strangers. 
    Don’t even look at anyone. 
    But what if they’re grouchy and gorgeous and you’re sitting right next to them? 
    I always did like a challenge. 
    I want to turn that frown upside down, but he barely looks at me. 
    I take a chance and poke the bear, and to my shock, he plays along and growls back. 
    The more we meet on the train, the more I realize he’s not the uptight grump I first thought. Then one night, there he is—in my world, in my space…his tongue in my mouth. 
    Mind blown. 
    But I’m no fool. A man like Nash Roman doesn’t date a guy who sells suits at Macy’s. 
    Nash is prep school and Ivy League, and I’m night school while working two jobs to pay bills. Nash is fine wine, expensive restaurants and handmade suits, and I’m beer, corner takeout, and a lucky find at Goodwill. 
    What am I—street-smart Ethan Moreno—doing, playing in his world? This man is older than me, way richer than me, and has already made it clear he doesn’t believe in love. I should walk away. Instead, I’m falling for him. Hard. 
    Nash couldn’t care less if his father doesn’t think I’m good enough or if people gossip because we’re so different. I need to trust in him and us, but I’ve been burned before. 
    And just like the Uptown Number 2, sometimes you have to travel a different route to get to the final destination: 
    Forever.
